![]() Ok so to start this build a few things. No, I have never intentionally bred clowns. Yes they have bred in my tanks. Yes I know captive breeding is easy but raising the fry is not.
Soooo... It's a project. We all know it gets done, so why not me? I'm going to attempt it anyhow. I have arranged for a 40G breeder which i will be picking up in the next bit. Thanks Jeff! I am going to divide it with black acrylic and have two separate sides, each isolated from the other. I'm not planning a sump system. Probably just AC30s. One each side. Easy to shut off if you need to. I figure I'll start with two pairs. Orange OC pair (bought today from Hooper) and the second pair 1x orange OC, 1x black OC. Any thoughts on the pairings ? Once I get the tank running and established I'll start my phyto and roti cultures. So yea. I don't know what the H.E. double hockey sticks I'm doin but I'm hoping to take my hobby to a different level. And I hope it works.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. ![]() |

![]() Technically speaking... I now have two pair of OC.
SA Vivid Fancy OCs and straight up OC from an unknown source. I'll post pics of both... You won't believe the color difference until you see them.

![]() Yes even in different tanks. The males semen will stay in the water and as it passes through all the tanks there is a chance it will fertilize receptive eggs.
This ofcourse only works with tanks sharing the same sump thats why I said you need to keep them seperate. Id be happy to donate my fish if you donate $400 to my wallet.

Yes I won't go sump. I want to be able to shut off the filters and run sponge if necessary. Separately in case of eggs or fry. I wish. I'll start small. Work my way up to designers if I get good results. Unique bugger for sure, but way outta my price range. Good luck.

![]() Ok. Lining up next clown already. Lol.
My buddy has an onyx perc. No mate. I'm going to buy her and try pair her with another standard perc. Not prepared to pick her up yet.

Thought crossed my mind... Maybe I'm better to stick with OCs for species continuity. Then if the day comes in my lifetime... I can selectively breed between them.

Unless of course they will actually interbreed as things say on the net.

![]() At least he is only talking to himself...not the fishes. So maybe a little sanity remains somewhere.
