    Neat video. I work at a clownfish farm and now have a pair of super storms laying eggs at home. Currently trying to wrap my head around small scale cultures :)

    Nice vid man any updates on the pla you had in the tank

      so far, it seems PLA does (slightly) better under water than in air. which is to say, it is holding up fine, no evidence of decay. however, for integrated screw threads - where the layers are in line with the force of torque I have managed to cause it to fail when ratcheting it down to hard. printing a tad hotter and with more walls seems to have resolved this.

    How do you handle the ammonia issue? I already got 3 batches every 2 weeks, My batch # 4 will hatch today or tomorrow. From my last 3 batches, I only saved 7 clownfisgh. They are healthy and growing. I dont know what I did wrong? iI checked ammonia every day. Some of them died because ammoniam I was using ammonia remover but I don't think that helped that much. I feed them with rotifers. I suspect that my rotifers were the ammonia issue. I also use TDO A. Today I'm getting another 10 gallon tank to separated these 7 guys from the new ones that I'm hatching today or tomorrow.

      so, set up the hatch tank as soon as you spot the eggs - a few weeks before is even better. with bright light and live Phyto\greenwater - the Phyto should feed on the ammonia and keep the levels down so it doesn't become toxic, and your pods and rotifers feed on the phyto. after the first week when the fry are swimming well, add a cycled sponge filter.

      Try leaving a carbon bag on the bottom to absorb it and do small water change with a air tube, might take longer but at less it works

    Do you intend to select any particular pattern/traits?

    • @BlueBladeFish

      I may go that way eventually. at the moment I have not identified a specific rare trait in this line that i am interested in isolating and amplifying. but when they get older, there may be something... if so, ill chose those individuals to keep for future breeding.

    Can u try to 3d print a Vossen's Larval trap I've been breeding clownfish for almost a year and it's the only thing I can't get in Canada

    • @BlueBladeFish

      I think the transparency plays a big role in that device, and transparent 3d prints are just not all that feasible. it would best be done by cutting and bending/gluing acrylic. ill put it on the project list :-).

      I've never used one of those. We just stick a flashlight on top of the breeding tank night of hatch and siphon the larvae into a big bowl, then into a prepared, darkened tank with breeding tank water in it
