FS: Captive-Bred Amphiprion Ocellaris Clownfish
 

I have for sale juvenille amphiprion ocellaris clownfish. These are bred and raised right here in my home! They are around 4 months old and still small so willl require some considerations before purchase. I have them in a 40 gallon breeder with koralia #2 powerheads to compare with. They seem to swim and eat with this flow with ease.

They are $10 each. 2 for $20. Selling locally in Vancouver. Not looking to ship at the momment.

Here are some pictures of the little ones:

Wow! Awesome! Good job raising them! How big are they now?

Thanks Carmen! They range in size from tiny to the largest ones being around 1.5". :biggrin:

Incredible! I wish I had the time to take on the task! I commend you on a job well done! They are adorable!:smile:

awwwwwwww too cute

They sure are cute! :mrgreen: I can stare at them for hours LOL

good luck with the sale, those clowns look great! High quality for sure, great color... very vibrant, not dull like some of the captive bred ones out there!

Thanks Steve! i feed them the best food from hatch to sell! Otohime, NLS, a variety of enriched frozen foods, and cyclopeeze. the cyclopeeze really helped to get that rich bright orange color.

i agree on the cyclopeeze, funny story; when i raised up cuttlefish from eggs they were fed only cyclopeeze as i wasnt ready with the rotifers and BBS, and i still had great results, seemed the perfect size for the freshly hatched to eat!

Steve

Nice job, they look quite healthy.

Just wondering how many were hatched and how many you have that survived so far.

Also can you go into more detail on the feeding. My ocellaris and Maroon pairs each lay eggs regularly but I have avoided trying to raise them because of the time/hassle of preparing rotifers.

wow! beautiful specimens! do you mind to tell me what camera you are using?:mrgreen:

i might be interested in 1 or 2, ill get back to you

thanks

That's awesome! did they turn red? LOL :lol:
