Clowns Spawned!

[BlakeT]

My picasso/onyx pair spawned! These are some of the best looking clowns I have ever seen so needless to say I am VERY excited. I have sucessfully raised percs before so I can't wait for these guys to hatch. It is a small nest, but they always grow as more nests are laid. Here are some pics of the parents. Pics of the eggs will follow tomorrow.

Thanks everyone! I'll keep this thread updated with pics. You guys will be the first to know when they are ready to go to their new homes!

I have a pair of Onyx and they are my favorite clowns. They should be interesting looking fry.

 

[poidog]

yay!

 

[BlakeT]

Yeah, I can't wait to see how they turn out!
Here is a video of them cleaning a nest site. (Click the picture and it will load the video)


Pics suck, but of course they chose the worst possible place to lay. At least I can see the eggs though.

what is your water flow like?

 

[BlakeT]

Pretty low I guess. They are in a biocube. Why do you ask?

Looks awesome Blake. I am very interested in the process. Looking forward to more info.

It that Mitch with the pretty clowns from the frag swap?

 

[BlakeT]

Thanks everyone! I will be sure to keep this thread up to date.

Thanks for your offer Mitch. The female came from a local hobbyist breaking down his tank. He claimed she was from C-Quest. She sure looks like she did, but there's no way to be certain.

[tenvibes]

[BlakeT]

Thanks guys! Me neither.

Unfortunatley it looks like the parents ate this batch. Hopefully they don't make a habit of it! I'll have more eggs soon enough.

That is a very interesting pair either way.

 

[BlakeT]

Thanks! They should be spawning again within the next week or so. We'll see what happens...
