If you are looking for info on using the V8 cuture method check out "Breeding the Orchid Dottyback" book from Martin Moe Jr. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/093...books&v=glance
I just read it...interesting to say the least on the V8/yeast cultures. Sounds feasible... |

I tried the V8 method and I think it killed my rots.
Best so far in my experience is live fresh nanno I am trying algae paste right now, but since the weather has changed, the rots are growing more slowly, and I don't know yet if it is because of the diet or the temperature. More later. |

One saturday night they decided to have a square dance. Here's the caller and some of the dancers:

It is hard to capture fish dances in a photo, but I tried:

How many do you have left? I tried the first time already but the eggs had already hatched before I even looked and I wound up only catching six, none made it. The next hatch looks like it will be on Saturday night so we will try again. I got this dry fish food from Mike Reed and he says it works so I plan on giving it a few more tries and see if it does. On the bag it says 100-200 microns.

I have 15 juveniles left. Good luck with the dry food. I have heard that it is difficult to get many thru on dry alone. Hope you are lucky!

mako56,
Document your process here please, so that we can all learn and experience with you as you go. Kathy, Your clowns look magnificant. Fancy shipping one to the other side of the world? How is your breeding setup going? Steve |

Thanks, Steve!
As far as shipping goes, the demand in my town is high enough that I don't think I will have have to ship anywhere, and I love 'em too much to risk a long air flight, even for you...good friend that you have been to me. How is your set up going? how are your new fish? Cheers, Kathy |

No problem Jess. I wonder if you could have two from the same brood?
Will do Steve I will get it sooner or later they lay eggs every two or three weeks so if I keep trying different things it should work. And Kathy ya I will give it a try or two. I already got some jugs to do the rots thing but I never did that either so I will need to figure out how that works too. Thanks for the luck.

I am expecting an email from Brad any day now, and I'm really excited! It has been a long time since I have had eggs and larvae in the house, and I think I'm ready to try it again. In a couple of months I will have to lay off raising fishes because we are planning a trip to Italy for 9 days, so this may be my last chance before spring.

I'll go ahead and wish you luck and I'll follow your post when you get the eggs. Mike

I don't mind at all if you want to add to this thread. However, you may wish to start your own thread so it will draw more attention to your posts.
It's all the same to me. I am always here. Cheers, Kathy |
