They did not have the regular apetite that day.         After spawn.         It's been hours and female still stays close to the male. That makes me curious, if she' s doing it on purpose or as a guard. Hope she quits that soon, male seems quite disturbed.   #2 mmoner Total Posts : 114 Reward points : 242 Joined: 9/8/2011 Location: Bursa, Bursa, TR Status: offline MBI: 85 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Pterapogon kauderni Monday, February 3, 2014 10:03 AM (permalink) Courtship video...     Right after spawn...     #3 mPedersen Total Posts : 3450 Reward points : 1376 Joined: 2/27/2009 Location: Duluth, MN, US Status: offline MBI: 4975 Pnts MBI Site: Lake Superior Marine Aquarium Club Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Pterapogon kauderni Sunday, February 16, 2014 1:09 AM (permalink) Looks great...hopefully you get some babies out of these!   #4 mmoner Total Posts : 114 Reward points : 242 Joined: 9/8/2011 Location: Bursa, Bursa, TR Status: offline MBI: 85 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Pterapogon kauderni Sunday, February 16, 2014 2:18 AM (permalink) Thanks, unfortunately male lost the eggs on day 5.   #5 tonino Total Posts : 20 Reward points : 351 Joined: 8/27/2012 Location: Shumen, , BG Status: offline MBI: 60 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Pterapogon kauderni Sunday, February 16, 2014 1:12 PM (permalink) Maybe he is young.

Thanks Kathy . I moved them to a more peaceful tank with my other clown couple. Maybe this will help too.         #15 mmoner Total Posts : 114 Reward points : 242 Joined: 9/8/2011 Location: Bursa, Bursa, TR Status: offline MBI: 85 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Pterapogon kauderni Thursday, July 31, 2014 6:57 AM (permalink) Male held them 16 days for the first time (on the 6th.batch). That was the first spawn in their new tank.   Well not a commercial breeder but i am not sure if it is time to swap him for another brood male or not?   Maybe he needs one last chance...   #16 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon
