Skunks Breeding

Always awesome. Even better when its a clown species that was never aquacultured.

This is crazy. My Randall's assessors are officially breeding in my other tank!

What are you feeding them? And what's their preferred soundtrack, smooth jazz?

So I recently started mixing in beta glucan in their food. Not sure if it has anything to do with it or not.

Really cool. Are you going to try to raise any of the fry?

Yes, both. The snowstorm on Monday though may prevent me from doing it. Atleast with the clowns. I am expecting the clowns to hatch tomorrow and my rotifer cultures were going to be here on Monday but looks like because of the weather the delivery won't be until Tuesday. Not a lot of breeding info on the assessors so I just going to mix them in with the clowns and see what happens.

I got baby brine if/when you need some.

I have baby brine. Started my culture just in case but I think they are to big. I actually have TDO pellets that are smaller that I was feeding my mandarin. Thanks for the offer though.

Absolutely Fish has rotifers too if you need to get them sooner.

So the assessor egg ball was gone last night. The male assessor is still hiding out in the cave though so maybe he moved them out of sight. Was hoping the clown eggs were going to hatch last night. That was a no go. Hopefully tonight is the night.

3rd try at this. So far so good. Tons of little babies.

Like clockwork and basically a guarantee to host in a BTA. A. Akallopisos is literally the best clownfish. Helps a but that aI don't think you will find anyone that has captive bred specimens in this country.
