Is it alright to use a 10 gallon tank or would I be better off with a black tub for the Larvae?   #7 KathyL Total Posts : 2639 Reward points : 1504 Joined: 6/6/2010 Location: St. Louis, MO, US Status: offline MBI: 1605 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Elacatinus Oceanops Sunday, March 29, 2015 1:36 AM (permalink) My old friend once said in regard to this question, "you can use any tank you want, as long as it is a black round tub."  On the other hand, I know someone who raises gobies in a 10 gallon glass aquarium.     That said, my last good batch I did in a BRT. check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #8 ray2111 Total Posts : 148 Reward points : 332 Joined: 8/28/2014 Location: davisburg, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 305 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Elacatinus Oceanops Monday, March 30, 2015 6:27 PM (permalink) Well the new couple have decided to snack on the eggs a bit. But they have left a few, and I can see eyes growing so I know they are fertile   #9 ray2111 Total Posts : 148 Reward points : 332 Joined: 8/28/2014 Location: davisburg, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 305 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Elacatinus Oceanops Tuesday, March 31, 2015 10:02 PM (permalink) Thank you for your help Kathy. I have everything in place. 4/2/15 I will be pulling the eggs and putting them in my black bucket. Hopefully I'll have the same luck as my occy's and raise some of the little ones. <message edited by ray2111 on Wednesday, April 1, 2015 10:23 PM>   #10 ray2111 Total Posts : 148 Reward points : 332 Joined: 8/28/2014 Location: davisburg, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 305 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Elacatinus Oceanops Wednesday, April 1, 2015 10:32 PM (permalink) Well I went to see if I had any eggs left tonight and the little guys were hatching so I put them in the bucket as fast as I could.  They came out a day earlier than I thought they would.
