Blue Z Reef Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Anyone had this? Not going to try and raise them since I probably won't even see them hatch before someone gets ahold of them. Kinda cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Happy fish, trying to make a family and settle down, well done! Assuming that is not a bacterial infection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Z Reef Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 What about their behavior Jeff? Any observations? Courting, dancing, etc... Haven't observed much as I just realized this today but I did see the pregnant one staying back while the others were darting around the tank. Although she was chilling in a mess of acro branches, hopefully baby chromies don't get hatched there LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Z Reef Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 She's looking "really pregs" now...only a matter of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerk1985 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 She looks really big. I would be concerned she might have something else going on like bloat or a blockage. I would see if she will eat some frozen peas thawed out and squeezed out of their shells. Its like a fishy laxative, will help if it is a blockage or bloat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 4 tangs this would be pretty much impossible. I also wouldn't want the tangs to get ahold of it and start dumpfest 2k15 :O Edited June 5, 2015 by Blue Z Reef 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishboys Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Have you been dosing vodka? Been seen a huge rise in pregnancy in tanks when alcohol has been introduced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Have you been dosing vodka? Been seen a huge rise in pregnancy in tanks when alcohol has been introduced. I dosed vodka for almost 2 years but turned it down so much it's not enough to really do anything but add minor bacteria amounts (it's been only minor additions for the last 6 months or so). When I was dosing it zeroed out nitrate and phos which wasn't good for the corals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it was tequila that did it. Edited June 5, 2015 by Gil&Fin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
