A. Ocellaris Hatch

[SEA YOU LATER]

I would say true because of the wide black on them.

They are fantastic.

Thanks!

Hey all, how about the orange one, true or false?

below 5 months baby is their offsping.

[SEA YOU LATER]

i think true, although the black outside the white in the bottom pic is very thin. Am I right or wrong?

[Kathy55g]

I would say true percula on the orange parent fish. The next picture is offspring of the parent fish, so who knows what the final look will be? Part of the charm of this pairing!

Another breeder who paired a black with an ocellaris gets 50% percent black and 50% orange.

[jake2045]

This is so cool. Another goodly number brought through.
Well done.

Well all my hopes of having a succesfull batch went down the drain. My male died last tuesday. Cant figure out why, all params are perfect and the other fish and the female seems to be ok, sad but ok.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my female of the pair that I had the other day to, but she decided that she liked the tank no more and jumped out.

I have since managed to get another and hopefully they will pair. At the moment there is no bickering so I am holding thumbs.

Good luck

Steve

Here is a quick pic of my breeding setup. Still three more ten gallons to add and UV, autotopoff etc:

Any Suggestions please:







will be 80 gallons total eventually.

It is 50 now.

jacob30 nice looking setup can you tell me a little more about it and some more

thanks

Well it's pretty simple so far just three ten gallons plumbed into a 20 high sump with three chambers (skimmer remora pro mag 3/filter sock/heater 250 watt ebo jager, bioballs and return pump chamber mag 7). I have drilled two of the ten gallons and have a cpr oveflow on the third (I will drill it soon). I will be adding three more ten gallon tanks below the current three and adding a 25 watt lifeguard UV and a autotopoff system soon. The tank on the far left has about 20 cardinals in it and the tank in the middle has about 100 juvenile black ocellaris and the far left tank has nothing in it yet (cardinals in a few days though). I also have about 150 blacks in my bedroom that I am keeping close tabs on and watching them grow. They will probrably be going in the breeding setup soon.

jacob30 thanks do you know anyone else close that are breeding the black ocellaris it would be great when i get down on the eastern shore of MD or VA to get a pair for breeding my self.

mike

[jacob30]

I know of no one else in this area breeding blacks. I am planning on breeding black onyx in the near future as well. Come by and get a pair of blacks sometime.

Pics of latest batch doing well!!:



Sadly the last hatch was fried by a heater (Visi-Therm Deluxe Heater 50 Watt). I have since switched brands to ebo jager. Hopefully they are better.

[SEA YOU LATER]

So cool!!!! Do you mind if I save all your pics Elmo?

[chungsl]

I love brown baby and enjoy to look their body color change daily.
I wonder my larvae fired by a heater,how your larvae was fired by heater?
how many larvae pass the metamorphosis each batch?

[jacob30]

My first successful batch had a post-metamorphesis survival rate of about 95%!! My second post meta survival rate was about 70%. And I have lost about 3 hatches completely.

[The Shrimp X]

any updates??? Good job, they look amazing ^_^

[jacob30]

Yes all is well still. I have had a recent hatch about 2-3 weeks ago and have about 250 or so of juveniles in the breeding setup. I will post some pics later today. About another month or two and quite a few will be ready to sell.
