  1. As you might know I breed clown fish with a nice success rate. I rarely have deaths after the first few days of life. When something like this happens I am very sad. 

    I have many tanks for the size of clown fish and the stages of their lives.  One of my tanks are 1-2 month clowns. One of these clowns ended up in my 6-12 month tank. I'm not sure how but there is a significant size difference needless to say.  I have about 100 clowns in each 10 gallon tank so I didn't notice at first. (I know you are thinking that is too many clowns but the tank gets huge water changes twice a week and has super filters on each one. Also if you don't crowd they like to fight till death. So this is how best to do it).  Long story short my little clown that some how switched tanks, my guess through a water change. I do them all at once. Thinking he road on the net I get debri out of the tank with. Well the bigger clowns picked on him. Most likely thinking he was live food at his small size. poor guy caught cotton mouth. I pulled him to qt, and treated with medication. For a while he was doing better but in the end I lost the poor guy. 

    I tried so hard to save him. I felt so bad he even made it to the larger adult tank from his safe home below. I know I have hundreds maybe even a thousand clowns now so I know its not a big deal in the bigger picture, but a life is a life. My husband says if you think about it in nature a clown lays about 500 eggs every 14 days aprox. and maybe one of those babies in each batch will survive so what I am doing is amazing. But it was so sad looking at my poor sick fishes eyes. I know that he had less of a chance to survey any infection than an adult because antibiotics are harder on a baby and they have less of a immune system but still sad

  2. Fs percularis tank bred clowns. Baby's no sex juvenile clowns.. Must pick up. No shipping. I'm in springfield. They are tank bred, parasite free,  and they do not attack. You can have the swarm of them if you're going to do that though I recommend 10 at least.  $15.00 each

  3. Myths about clowns. (You can only have 2) . Truth: If you have eight or more clowns in the tank they will get along. But you can only have one male and one female so you have to do this when they're all juveniles.  So you can have a clown tank.

    My clowns are nice and swim into my hands. They don't bite. They eat tdo reef nutrition.  They are parisite free since I've breed them.  Happy clowns.

    these are a hybrid clown percularis. They look like orange saddle backs with a percula body.  Not ocellaris or percula.

    How long does the bottle of ice last? And do you have a correct amount of ice to where you dont have to have the heaters keep it from too cold?

    Depending on how hot it is a couple hours I normally put in a litter bottle.  I just keep a couple of them around in the freezer and I rotate them. If it was my big tank I'd probably in myself put in 2 two liters. But depending on how warm it is things can change. So just keep an eye on it. I really only needed when it gets really hot outside. Other than that The fan holds it okay.

  5. 100 plus clowns in 10 gallon. They have requirements. They require a filter cover for the intake of any filter.  They eat small food. Medium is too big for them. Can not go in with large fish.

    plus is about them. They are guaranteed not to be female. They look like orange and white saddleback clowns. They haven't got all their adult coloring yet. So their tails are still clear. So they are juvenile. You can add a swarm of them in a tank as juveniles and they will have one male one female and rest will always be baby's. Always be together. So you can have a clown only tank. 

     

    They are a hybrid clown. Half percula half ocellaris.

  7. Some percularis pictures today with my cell phone. Different ages. I haven't one more tank with the middle-aged. However I did not take a picture of it today. These are my baby's. Some 8 months to 18 days. They are all the same species. They just change as they age. Even the eight month old babies. Will still change they haven't got their tail fin colors yet.
