About 2 months ago my friends tomato clowns laid eggs. I took a chance and picked up the babies from him. I managed to raise them and I am super happy that I have 12 healthy babies that eat everything that I feed to them now. Sorry for the poor quality pics

tagging along, congrats on getting them this far;) When you say you took a chance, were you prepared for them (ie. Have rotifer cultures going etc, or did you manage to get them to survive on something else???)

Hi guys. Yes I did have a rotifer culture going. I did a lot of research before the attempt. I grow my own green water to feed the rotifers. So I fed them rotifers for about 10 days and then I started them on brine shrimp(live). Now they are eating frozen brine shrimp and flakes. I will post some pics of the green water and rotifer setups tomorrow. Thanks
 
Wow! Congrats, kriben... awesome job!
 
Nice Kribs!
See you in Dec.
 
So as promised here are the pics of my green water and rotifer setups. Pics of my clown grow out tanks. Had to make 3. Guy did not want to build just 1 for me. Lastly a pic of my baby girl. She turned 8 months yesterday. Yep I managed to breed and grow her to:tt2:

@kriben, where did you get the info to do this?

Mind posting your how-to guide?

Would be appreciated.

Cool. I see what appears to be a sump next to your grow out tanks. Is this the filtration for the grow out tanks, i do not se an overflow or outlet on the tanks?

I see you are using ozone reactor - can you tell me more about that and the aeration in the Nanno?

Where are your larvae tanks?
 
Hi. I promise to post some pics tomorrow. Good news is that I now have between 70 to 80 babies. Even better news is that I now have quite a few of snowflake babies as well, between 50 to 60. They are all doing well and are very healthy.:thumbup:
