Guest LisaJill Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I just had to share; I managed to get these babies right before Rod stopped selling to the public. From my flickr page where there are lots more photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanz Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 wow, they look soo tiny in the anemone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LisaJill Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 They *are* tiny. Somewhere between 1/2 inch and an inch? Here's a picture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/namrah/2939437701/ that shows them acclimating upon arrival - you can see them compared to the tubing being used for the drip. I'm sure that everyone here is familiar with how thin that stuff is? =) They're pigs, though, so I expect them to grow pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyenna Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Rod's not selling to the public anymore? what! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LisaJill Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Yep, that's what he posted here: http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=13484920#post13484920 Will be available from stores, though. I was psyched to get them from Rod both to be sure they were from Rod, and because they came from a known clean system. Now if I could get all my fish from reputable breeders that don't bring in wild-caught fish, I'd be psyched. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 So those are tank raised? I'm trying to find some for my rose.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 So those are tank raised? I'm trying to find some for my rose.... Talk to Dave, (barelycuda). I'm not sure if he has onyx, but he is raising clowns. PS just looked at the 'meetimg' thread and Onyx was listed on his earse board.

mrgreenthumb Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 when is Dave(barleycuda) going to start selling clowns?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 ADORABLE!!! How are they doing? The Rose is getting HUGE!

undrtkr_00 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 when is Dave(barleycuda) going to start selling clowns?!?!?! He does sell them....lots! I think he said he sells 100/month or so to LFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I don't think that Dave is selling directly to the public. I think you need to get them through a LFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgreenthumb Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 thats what I was afraid of........i would much rather get it directly from his system to mine ....avoiding the lfs holding tanks. well which stores are carrying his clowns??

Guest LisaJill Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 They are doing beautifully. The one with no bars is bigger and may end up being the female. I haven't researched at how big/what age they decide genders, so we'll have to see. The anemone is indeed huge, and while its foot has not moved, it now leans and takes up nearly the entire corner. I had to do some pretty quick coral re-arranging. At first I thought it was preparing to split, but if that's the case, it is taking absolutely forever. And yes, these are tank-bred; I'm playing with the idea of going with all tank-bred fish. A pair of neon gobies and perhaps a banggai or two. I really, really want a mandarin though and think the tank can support it; and I know they've been bred and raised in captivity but I've not heard of those babies being sold.

CA2OR Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 That is soo cool. I can't wait till my clowns have babies. How long have you had the pair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LisaJill Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Since early October I've had them; they've grown quite a bit - so has the anemone, I wish the darn thing would split, it takes up a good half the tank at this point. Grrr. =) Really I love it, I just want a bigger tank! The clowns have grown quite well; the female has had her second bar come in mostly on one side and not at all on the other, she may end up being a misbar, but I am hoping that both bars will come in fully. Either way they're a stunning pair and just so much fun to watch. And pigs - when I feed, their bellies get 3x as big as they are; I worry about bloat somewhat, but I don't feel I'm over-feeding either!

CA2OR Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 you can stress it out and it will split....either that or you tube anemone splitting and have at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LisaJill Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Nah, I'd rather it choose to split on its own; I'm not in enough of a hurry to frag it or stress it like that. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I agree with you completely. I only posted that to answer your question. I have seen people cutting anemone's in half but I just don't have the heart to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LisaJill Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I prefer the solution of getting a larger tank... now if I weren't so lazy, I might do just that. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 That is probably the coolest thing when clowns find their anemone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
