My First Clown Juvenile
Hi all,
My Tomato clown pair recently started spawning. The first two spawns were eaten by them, but I started to get ready for breeding clowns. However, I'm having a real tough time getting the greenwater and rotifers to make it - that's a long story: I obtained new starting cultures three times already, and it seems I'll have to get some again; I have Joyce Wilkerson's book; I don't know what's going wrong. Anyway, this is just to say, through all of this, *one* fry of the first batch made it past metamorphosis, even though a lot of things went wrong. In the meantime the parents have eaten another batch of eggs. Here are a pic of the little guy at 17 days old:

Well Matt, success with Mandarins would rank a *little bit* higher than success with Tomato Clowns, but thanks. It's great to have my first juvenile raised!

Bad news.
This morning the Little One was dead :cry: ... The water temperature was about 33 Celcius, so that must have caused it. I tested pH and Ammonia too, for good meassure, but they were fine. A moment of silence please ... :cry: At least he made it to 26 days, and I've learnt a lot. No to get that algae and rotifers going sufficiently well for the next batch ...

Sorry for your loss. Next batch will definitely be better.
