Our mission

Clownfish breeding set up

I want to start a tank thread on our breeding setup. The Tanks are 47 gallons each and are divided into 4 one foot squares and 2 two foot squares each. The sump is a 40 breeder we got from sjbro. We have 2 sets of breeders currently and are conditioning 3 more sets and raising another pair to breed.
Set One our best pair are a Picasso female and a Snowflake Male. They produce clutches about every 10 days. We have had good success keep the fry alive.

Set two is a pair of premium Black Ice. These two produce every 21 days or so. Have had no fry survive from these two past day 2.

Set 3 is a pair of black snowflakes. They have not breed yet in the system but when they were in the display with the Picasso pair and the snowflake. The Female piccaso did a clutch with the male black snowflake. She is a bit loose.

This setup is awesome! I've always thought that clownfish breeding was super cool! Are your breeding them for fun or to supply LFS?
When the Gold nuggets produce babies, put me on the list :)

A picasso and a snowflake breeding pair? Interesting...I just picked up a small school of both and noticed a picasso hanging out with a snowflake. Will be interesting how they all eventually pair up. You need a picasso or snowflake for one of your singles? Let me know as I have extra...if I can catch them from my 187g DT (no corals yet)

How many of the clownfish spawn get the parents "premium" features vs look like a normal or just slightly misbarred fish?

The only babies we have now are from the Picasso and snowflake parents. The first clutch only had 2 survivors and they are really awesome colored picosnows. The next batch is about 1/3 normal do not see any misbars. 1/3 snowflake and 1/3 picosnows.
