Clownfish Breeding Series - Hatch Night

Hatch Night!
Hatch night is such amazing to watch. This video basically shows how I catch them and get them to the tank. I use the Vossen Larvae Trap, a heater and a air pump.
Always prepare the water the night before in the fry tank and make sure its nice and heated.

Eventually when the Bali Picassos babies are ready to be sold, I will have a giveaway for a free pair. I will post more information to come and will choose a follower whether on KZbin, Instagram or Facebook. More details to come soon.

[@MegaElectronicworld]

Luis just want to thank you for a very informative vid. I was looking everywhere for some detailed info like this so glad I came across your channel. PS. I have subscribed now to your channel. Regards Mike from Cape Town South Africa

[@TheAqualogy]

Mike thank you for the kind words!

[@rick_n_roller]

Hey great video What is that trap called? Thank you

[@andrewau1993]

I am thinking using searchem absorption stuff to replace the sponge filter in the grow out tank. When the juveniles are grown enough a protein skimmer can be used.

[@TheAqualogy]

Andy let me know how it goes

[@IMGbaugher]

This was such a helpful video. Thank you so much.

[@kimberlymungin1463]

My husband has a 180 gallon saltwater tank that we just got. He wants about 60 clownfish in his tank. he will be setting his tank up starting March 15, 2022. He is in the military and is overseas right now. so can I buy about 60 of the fish from you in one lump sum?

[@zaid609-n1c]

Firstly thank u for this great video... Bro could u provide the links for the products that u used I mean the trap and the light

[@doctornutriexercise143]

Qual sal esta usando amigo para criar e passar de metamofose?

[@reezee99]

where did u get that suction cup light from i cant find that anywhere

[@Odorata_]

Awesome video! I’m curious..Where can i buy those kinda trap?

[@pritam65010]

Kindly share the buying link for this trap system.

[@ATCorals]

I have a question. I have aquariums for breeding clownfish. Could I add 70 liters of 2 lysmata wundermani shrimp with a pair of clownfish to the aquarium? Will the shrimp interfere with the spawning of clownfish?

[@shawnb34]

Great Video, Learning a lot from it. My clown fish just laid there first set of eggs just over a week ago. Of course I was not ready to do anything to have any success as of yet. Was going to set up a brine shrimp hatchery but after watching your video look like that is the wrong thing to do and just order the TDO food. I have phytoplankon ordered. Need to order rotifers but waiting to get plankton growing first. I noticed that APBreed offers 2 types of Rotifers. Ltype and S-type. Which type should I order. Also do you sell rotifers and what type do you have and how much. Also looks like I will need a sieve. I think its a 53mu sieve but correct me if I am wrong. Any help is very much appreciated Thanks

[@TheAqualogy]

Appreciate the comments! Congrats on the fish laying eggs, its such a cool feeling! Yes, I stopped doing brine shrimp because it was such a hassle to constantly raising then it was actually killing fry. TDO is packed with nutrition and all the top breeders I know use it because you get great colors and half out of the fish. You can use the phytoplankton to grow or you can use the RG complete I mentioned. I still grow phyto but slowly am getting rid of it and only using RG complete. Super concentrated and great shelf life. I use the L- Type strain. Yes I have rotifers for sell and usually get a 16 oz bag $14 shipped. Just remember if you are going to grow a lot of rotifers, you will need to grow a lot of phytoplankton. If you don't have success with growing large amounts or the culture keeps dying, I would switch to the RG complete by Reeds Yes, you are correct about the sieve.

[@shawnb34]

Wow fast response, I would like to take that up with you and get a bag, I will order order a small bottle of RG complete today. I have already ordered what I need for the pyhto and am wanting to give that a try as well but would like to have everything ready for the next clutch of eggs. Hopefully there will be one. Last time they laid in my reef tank next to there RBTA. Noticed eggs on Nov 1 and hatched on Nov. 5. I put in a flower pot over the weekend in hopes they lay there. If not I will pick up a trap as soon as I see where the eggs are. I read that when changing things in the tank it may make it so they don't lay eggs again. . Where can I make that order for rotifiers from you. I saw a eBay link on another one of your videos but it appears not to be yours anymore.

[@Espagan.]

Hey how many babies did you get

[@sahiljagtap03]

Can we feed TDO to the fry instead of copepods

[@stevenrivera4227]

What is the name of the thing that you are using to catch the baby’s.

[@wcdeich4]

What species is the most peaceful? If you left the babies in the tank w/ their parents, bu t just had lots of hiding places, do you think some would live that way?

[@TheAqualogy]

wcdeich4 unfortunately no. A few things would happen. 1. Current would kill them 2. Would basically be fish food. 3. Even if the above were somehow avoided, they would starve. No access to Rotifer's 4. Light would be so bright from regular tank

[@jodiehaylock3255]

Hi. Where about can I purchase the fry catcher? Jodie

[@pamkonen8593]

how far down in the tank do you place the trap? I need a video on setting up this trap in the parent tank

[@TheDagone2]

Hey great video, but I have a question would the clownfish fry eat the frozen Rotifers?

[@TheAqualogy]

TheDagone2 unfortunately, no

[@ramonmcintosh4677]

TheDagone2 whats the name of the trap that use to catch the clownfish fry?

[@Heckman270]

Vossen Larval trap www.bulkreefsupply.com/larval-trap-vossen.html

[@TheAqualogy]

What Scott said :) Unless you can get your clowns to go on removable objects. A lot easier in my opinion

[@puffman2767]

Great instructional video thank you. I tried rearing a batch of clownfish but I'm not sure how much TDO A to add to the tank. I've been using a tiny pinch but it's unclear if they're eating it and how much is going to waste. How many times daily do you feed the TDO? Thanks!

[@TheAqualogy]

Puff Man I do the same. Once fish are off Rotifers a feed TDO 3 times a day in pinches. My rule is I add small amounts and wait for it to disappear before adding more. You can tell if you are adding to much of you see it all over the floor

[@josean_rp]

How lonk took your eggs to hatch?

[@MikeHayward78]

The sieve you use for the rotifers... did you make that?

[@TheAqualogy]

Michael Hayward no, it comes from reeds

[@ernstseegers3467]

Where does one get rotifers and how do you "farm/breed" them to have ready for the fry and what do rotifers feed on?

[@miguelangelros1263]

congratulations for the when or how do you know the fry are already to get out of the eggs? how do you know that night is the night?

[@TheAqualogy]

Miguel Angel Ros thanks! As far as your question, I know because the first couple of times they laid eggs I counted how long it took them. So after I got a number, I started writing on the calandra to let me know when they would lay and when they would hatch

[@ernstseegers3467]

Is a person supposed to keep only 1 pair of breeding fish per tank, as in two on their own or can you have multiple breeding pairs in a larger tank / what is the verdict ont this, do they get along, would they eat or destroy each others nests? Tks.

[@Halieus_Anthropos]

Are you still active? How much water current do you have in the parent tank w/ eggs? Nvm I watched the video, but I still would like to talk and have a few questions. I am trying to breed some tomato clowns myself.

[@petertran999]

How many days before eggs hatch? 🐣

[@Heckman270]

Great video buddy!! one question why do you cover the new hatchling tank for 2 weeks? is this something that has to be done?

[@TheAqualogy]

I was hoping to get my day by day video up to explain, but its not everyday for 2 weeks. Around day 5 or so I leave just the brown plexiglass. I just haven't had the chance to get a good culture going due to traveling

[@mynorestuardosandovalescob9017]

amazing how you catch them, can you tell me where to buy the equipment to catch it, what's it called?

[@wallflower7554]

Vossen Larvae Trap

[@AcuaTV]

Hey Luis, I was wondering if you had a video on the transfering of the eggs if they are on a flower pot. How do you aerate the eggs once they are moved? My concern is the following. I've observed that when I see the silver bodies and the eyes in the next two o three days is when they seem to hatch (I haven't been able to see if they actually hatch since they are on my main display tank with lots of predators, pumps etc). So I was planning on removing the pot on the night I see the silver bodies and eyes and use an airstone to aerate the eggs, but being in a flower pot I think it will be hard to put the airstone inside so that it doesn't cause air pockets and circulates water properly. Any advice that you can give me in that area? Thanks!

[@TheAqualogy]

AcuaTV haha that's funny, I was actually uploading a video where I explain how I do the transfer when they are in a removable object. Should be up soon

[@AcuaTV]

Sweet!!

[@TheAqualogy]

AcuaTV but to answer your question, it's okay to have the bubbles touch the eggs. As long as it's not blasting, the should be fine. You want enough current to have the eggs move around naturally but not have the air blowing hard against the eggs. You will be able to tell the difference when you are adjusting the air because it will look more natural at the right aeration instead of thousands of bubbles knocking into the eggs

[@satrialeo736]

Hi..where did you buy that tool to catch fries??

[@TheAqualogy]

Satria Leo bulk reef supply

[@satrialeo736]

Luis Perez what is the name?

[@TheAqualogy]

Satria Leo it’s called the vossen larvae trap

[@goodall1bay]

Maybe use a heat mad for the new born fry. The same e kind you use with reptiles. It's outside the tank under it.

[@TheAqualogy]

goodall1bay great idea!

[@edunavea3]

Hi bro whats is tha name of that trap?

[@marlow4819]

Hi, where did you buy the mini lamp?

[@dragonshadow3707]

Love the video bud I have always wanted to breed clowns I did by chance breed cleaner shrimp was not planned or anything just happened I had nothing to put them in so had to leave them in the tank and when I got up they where all gone and my fish were soooooo fat was gutted but I guess that's what happens ;)

[@Espagan.]

Hey how will you transfer the babies to other tank if you said it I missed it . What happens if you leave babies in the same tank as their parents are in

[@TheAqualogy]

MrLife Hacks I catch them with the trap then remove the trap into the other tank. If you leave the fry with the parents they will be eaten or killed by the filtration

[@michaelsavastano4201]

great video! I started feeding the who's your daddy blend, fish and corals love it. waiting on my clowns to lay eggs, might pick up a second set. are you going to be selling a rotifer kit on ebay?

[@TheAqualogy]

Michael Savastano it's great food! As far as the rotifer kit I don't have on eBay anymore but I can get you some Rotifers. I got the sieve from eBay

[@michaelsavastano4201]

Yeah I have a sieve. Tried rotifers once gave up, fish didn't laid eggs yet. Just need a rotifer culture and a plankton culture. Going to do a set up this time around. I have a fish room in my basement and my main display is in my living room. I'm also looking for a juvenile or male clownfish to pair with a female black oceleris. Found a gladiator clown at my local fish store for $30 might pick it up. My other pair are blacker ice.

[@TheAqualogy]

Nice! Just got a pair of Breeding Bali Picassos. Hopefully I can have a video with tile removal

[@coordenacaoacademicaica4870]

What is the moist diet made up of?

[@magicstix0r]

17:26 "Never expose the eggs to water..." LuLz.

[@markevans2280]

No, fish don’t like water

[@Bronxfishbomber]

Super amazing 😎🙌💪💪skills

[@odoylerulez1427]

Why dont you transfer the eggs into another tank before they hatch?

[@magwarblood]

How many days usually does it take for the eggs to hatch

[@TheAqualogy]

Depends on the clowns. I usually say anywhere from 7-10 days. It all depends when they have eyes and turn silver. From there it's usually that day or the next. Definitely more than a week though. What I tell people is to have a calendar and right down the day they lay and the day they hatch the first few times. From there you should be able to see your clowns schedule

[@SsobVaughn]

Do you need to change the water every day?

[@TheAqualogy]

Vaughn Malonzo parent tank, once a week. Fry, every other day

[@ernstseegers3467]

Where did you get the Refugem trap from?

[@Heckman270]

[@nusratchowdhury4669]

Wow.. What is the breeding clownfish price??

[@NandhaKumar-ii9oh]

Hi, I have a clarkii clown fish, How to identify whether it's male or female, plz suggest me

[@TheAqualogy]

Do you only have one or do you have a pair?

[@NandhaKumar-ii9oh]

I have only one

[@TheAqualogy]

You can’t then. At least I wouldn’t know how. But the more time it spends by itself, the more likely its a female

[@NandhaKumar-ii9oh]

Thanks bro 😍

[@Buddy1927gaming]

Great Information Keep the videos coming

[@nguyen2love]

Where do you buy the fry fish trap.thanks

[@TheAqualogy]

Hung Nguyen I got it from bulk feed supply

[@TheAqualogy]

Hung Nguyen it's called the vossen larvae trap

[@goodall1bay]

You can buy heaters that have the light on the top.

[@TheAqualogy]

Thanks for the info, I'll look into that!

[@gustavmeiring5784]

love the video , would you mind if I ask where you bought the vossen trap from? any online shops perhaps?

[@MrChadVossen]

www.vossenaquatics.com/equipment Still tweeking the new site, but the store is ready for business. Enjoy :)

[@genehall8895]

Could someone tell me the best place to buy breeding pairs of all types of clowns.Thanks

[@TheAqualogy]

Gene Hall there is no "best place". You can look at your LFS to see if there is a "mated pair". Other than that, there isn't a one stop shop to buy breeding clowns

[@genehall8895]

+Luis Perez Thanks I kinda figured that .I've kept reef for 30+ years ,and over time we all learn the hard way ,or I have anyway. That some places have quality livestock, and others send you disease and make u pay for it. Thanks for the reply

[@genehall8895]

+Luis Perez Great information ,on the video .Thanks

[@markevans2280]

Why you got plastic pipes in tank ?

[@TheAqualogy]

Mark Evans it’s just to give them hiding soaces

[@paulbartlett2711]

Thank you so much, very informative!

[@TheAqualogy]

Thank you for your kind words

[@scoup18]

[@jonathanesoto25]

Hey Luis great video, i have some eggs by my pair but I also have other fish like an angel, a tang and some green chromis, I’m trying to rush here and set up my 10gal tank. My only question is where do I get the rotifers?? And at what temperate you keep the hatchery? Thanks buddy!

[@TheAqualogy]

Jonnathan Soto rotifers you can order online like eBay or reeds and temp is around 78-80

[@sterling6379]

great information

[@dxrkn3ss377]

What trap

[@frankie2times775]

Did you buy this pair?

[@TheAqualogy]

None None yes I did

[@genehall8895]

+Luis Perez Great info .Could you tell me the best place to buy breeding pairs of clowns. Im interested in maroon clowns ,and ocellaris ,Percula clowns mostly. Thanks

[@TheAqualogy]

Gene Hall well if you aren't able to buy a pair or find one, you may have to get two clowns and pair them up and keep feeding them until they mature. Only down part is it can take several months

[@Ellery-USA]

Very cool, I have 3 mated pairs but never had the time to breed them.

[@ernstseegers3467]

Great Video, Very Informative, Pity about the VERY POOR SOUND Quality, Barely audible.

[@madfishdiva]

Fascinating 💦
