Very cool, Steve. Must have been an event of the SOUTH Calgary Reefers' Club, then...

:confused:

:biggrin:

Congrats

How long have you had them ?


Wendell

Wow, that is great news.

Must be the RO/DI water.

Yea Alan .. we schemed and planned a get together that excluded all you NORTH folk Muahahahaha :razz:

Thanks Wendell ... I have only had them a short while ... got them from Kim actually :smile:

Hey Kim ... I dont use RO/DI :confused: ... did you ? ... Oh well ... no matter as they seem to like the water just fine no matter where it came from I guess ... they have really settled in fine and dont stray more than a foot from their BTA except to chase away the Ocellaris pair :smile:

Cheers

Yeah, right. I had a pair of Ocellaris lay eggs when I lived in Vancouver back in the middle seventies. That was Vancouver water. I have pictures to prove that event. :2gunfire:

They look like a very happy couple. I bet the other fish are grinning aswell.

My ocellaris always had their eggs eaten quite quickly.

The maroons must stay up all night to protect them, I swear. :lol: Every batch hatches before they are munched... :eek:

I removed the egg rock once just before hatching and the brittlestars and bristleworms were all over them - gone by morning.... :sad:

I doubt I want to raise them, enough work around here as it is......

Well it's been a couple days and there are still a few dozen eggs still there :eek: ... do they eat their own eggs ? ... Oh well ... more food for the tank I guess

Cheers

ok I have a question about percs and such.. if you get two from the same clutch.. will they be able to breed fine? I mean with out genetic defects as I know they are able to change sex as nessasary so does this prevent inbreeding problems?
