I then refocused the image by looking at the camera screen, and took the pictures.  It is awkward and I don't always get good results.  Often by the time I get everything set up, the subject swims away.  Or I'll get a perfect orientation of the subject only to have the camera automatically shut itself off. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be cheap. check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #21 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: Lysmata wurdemanni Monday, August 3, 2015 10:14 PM (permalink) One of the wurdemanni hatched it's eggs last night.  The passive snagger is worthless for these guys… I got about 3 shrimps in it.  The rest I siphoned out after darkening the tank and shining a flashlight in a corner. There are still lots of shrimp nauplii in the tank, but I have enough.  I added them to the 2 or 3 larger survivors (recent deaths happened…) after a short acclimation.  check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #22 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: Lysmata wurdemanni Tuesday, August 4, 2015 1:39 PM (permalink) still lots of nauplii in the adult shrimp tank. There was a spawning event last night as well. The adults stay at the darker side of the tank and the nauplii stay nearest the light source at the other end. This morning I made sure that the adults had plenty of chow to eat, and then I added some NHBS to the nauplii side. NHBS are also attracted to light so I saw them all congregating at the meniscus at the brightest corner. Wurdemanni naups were striking at the food! check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #23 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: Lysmata wurdemanni Tuesday, August 4, 2015 10:33 PM (permalink) Hey April Kirkendol!

Maybe now that MBI has them acuretly identified we can start gathering info on them being a "B level" species.   #33 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: Lysmata wurdemanni Wednesday, August 19, 2015 6:53 PM (permalink) Thank goodness I got the Clarkii's done. Hard to get enough A classes. I first wanted Wurdemannis to get a class A. But I do think they are not as robust. check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #34 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: Lysmata wurdemanni Saturday, October 10, 2015 12:19 PM (permalink) I have one wurdemanni larva left, and no brood stock. This larva is fully developed, with long pleopods, but one of its spear legs got broken off and it is growing a new one. When/if that growth is complete, I can only hope for metamorphosis. Adult wurdemannis have disappeared from all LFS again.  It may be a seasonal thing when we get them in.  I would hate to have to wait until next year for this species. check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #35 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: Lysmata wurdemanni Friday, October 16, 2015 12:27 AM (permalink) All dead now. check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #36 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon Change Page: < 12 | Showing page 2 of 2, messages 21 to 36 of 36 - powered by ASPPlayground.NET Forum Trial Version
