I tried to fish one out, but the other two chased each other mercilessly, so I swapped out the removed one with one of the chasers, and to no avail.  Any two of the remaining three are just vicious to each other. What shall I do?  Anyone want some mean evelynae? <message edited by KathyL on Wednesday, June 24, 2015 11:04 PM> check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #2 waldend Total Posts : 604 Reward points : 1855 Joined: 10/5/2010 Location: Lafayette, IN, US Status: offline MBI: 310 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Elacatinus evelynae Wednesday, June 24, 2015 11:00 AM (permalink) Once you get the pair spawning you will have tons of mates for them! Do you have a guess on the remainders being male or female?   #3 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 evelynae Wednesday, June 24, 2015 11:04 PM (permalink) I really can't tell.

JULY 19, 2015   I went to feed the QTs where I have all the new brood stock, and only one of the evelynae came out to feed.  I saw the other one inside a pipe, letting food float past his face. Funny, the one that came out is as skinny as I have ever seen her since she arrived. SHE is a she, because we have eggs in the pipe!!!!!!!!!!   Just in time to hatch while I'm at MBI.  Tal, can we plan a workshop in the winter sometime? check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #8 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 evelynae Sunday, July 19, 2015 2:37 PM (permalink) The reluctant to leave the pipe male: check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #9 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 evelynae Sunday, July 19, 2015 2:57 PM (permalink)  The male was reluctant to leave the pipe when I picked it up to take pictures. I put it back in a new place at a different angle, convenient for my observation of egg development.  He didn't enter the pipe.     I replaced the pipe in the same position I found it, and he was in the pipe within 5 minutes.  Apparently, he cares. check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #10 waldend Total Posts : 604 Reward points : 1855 Joined: 10/5/2010 Location: Lafayette, IN, US Status: offline MBI: 310 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Elacatinus evelynae Sunday, July 19, 2015 5:18 PM (permalink) Wow, awesome news Kathy.
