[@LegendaryKingston]

I just setup a 44 gallon marine tank...it's cycling at the moment...would love to keep these designer clowns....love it!

[@kiernandeed9685]

Thank you

[@duanevol]

Love these videos you added. Thanks its very helpful

[@michaelmartinez459]

Hi Luis, thanks for sharing all your knowledge and experience. I really appreciate it. I want to set up a saltwater / Clownfish aquarium soon. Thanks

[@jjmccloud]

I like it, though I think I will just divide my 20g tanks in half vs thirds just for a little more room for the pairs

[@Tainowarrior-js3cj]

Hey guys Petco has the $1 a gallon sale until Nov 17 2018 👍🏻call them in your area got me a 20 long.

[@raudimercado6431]

Nice Video. what mesh size do you recommend for the rotifers siphon ? thanks

[@lambertguimond2227]

You're very inspiring!! I'd love to start breeding my own someday soon, perhaps with one of your pairs in the nursery too! (-:

[@TheAqualogy]

Lambert Guimond hopefully!

[@AcuaTV]

Could you do a video (or don't know if you already have one), on how to select a breeding pair, how long will it take for them to become a bonded pair and any tricks to be successful at getting a pair please? Thanks!

[@TheAqualogy]

AcuaTV There really is no "how to" haha all the pairs I bought were already breeding. So when I transferred them into my system, it took a few weeks to get the back to breeding. I would look on your local Craigslist or forums for breeding pairs. If not you need clowns to be mature and a bonded pair. From there it's just a waiting gaming. The only pair that I had that I bought separately was my first pair but they were in my fish tank for 9 years before they started. So it's just easier to find a breeding pair

[@AcuaTV]

Luis Perez lol i see. I had my clowns for 5 years before they started breeding on their own.

[@TheAqualogy]

AcuaTV yeah, it takes a while. You just need patience and need to look for good qualities in fish. In hybrids you want to avoid "bulldog" faces or too many crosses in the breed

[@AcuaTV]

I gave you a shoutout in my latest video! Thanks for your help! I think you will notice your subs jump a bit :P For the record, you had 288 when I posted the video :D

[@TheAqualogy]

AcuaTV I really appreciate that! Thank you so much

[@jjmccloud]

Where did you find the black plexiglass

[@downsouthreefers9548]

what return pump and tubing did you use

[@ShanePsaltis]

Awesome video as usual , where did you get the acrylic dividers from?. And the bulkheads can you post a link, also one other question, can I use a 20g tank and just drill 1 hole on each end , a drain and a return and cut slits in ththe dividers so it’s all the same water?

[@TheAqualogy]

The dividers I made from scrap. Bulkheads I got from marine depot but it all depends on the size you want. As far as your last question it all depends on what kind of system you want running

[@mmacro1635]

How do the clowns do in their sections? I am considering splitting my 20 long display fuge into three but am concerned that each slot might be to small. I will be using dividers with slits cut in them instead of each slot having its own drain/return.Thanks!

[@TheAqualogy]

tmjvb they do fine in the 20. I'm not sure about the slits because they might see each other

[@bettycoyle5493]

About how far down from top of black trim did ya drill the drain and return lines? about how far from the dividers did ya drill holes? ty for answering

[@TheAqualogy]

Betty Coyle the drain is about half way down and the return was smaller so I was about to do 2 inches from the top. I drilled my holes first then added the dividers. Don’t add dividers first

[@jmarcant616]

do you still sell your regular clowns?

[@arularifin9199]

At 13.19 is that grow out tank? Only use hangin on filter?its no problem without sump system for growout luis?

[@TheAqualogy]

Arul Arifin it’s okay for a few months. I definitely wouldn’t recommend as a permanent solution. The tanks will get dirty very fast

[@arularifin9199]

@@TheAqualogy thanks for info brother, check my DM on instagram please 😁

[@HK-gj9ss]

Luis can i use RG complete on my day 1 to tint the water instead of rotigreen omega its very expensive since i an doing just for hobby not commercially

[@TheAqualogy]

you can, but you will use a lot more of the product. so all in all you will use more rg for the rotifers and fry tanks and omega green is not as much of the product. In my opinion its better to have both

[@MrSharperimage10]

great video!!! one question how is biological filtration supported? with biobals only?

[@TheAqualogy]

MrSharperimage10 pretty much. I was going to do a refugium but decided to do heavy skimmer and water changes. I do have a lot of sponges in the sump as well.

[@MrSharperimage10]

Luis Perez I like the clean setup. I like the fact that it looks very clean down in the sump. Good job. You are a pro.

[@TheAqualogy]

MrSharperimage10 I try :) thanks!

[@saibot1616]

Hey man another question, do you think the seachem phytoplankton will be the same as feeding RGComplete to the rotifers? I couldn't find anything that says you can but also nothing that says you can't.

[@saibot1616]

Follow up question, would it be okay if I do a water change in my tank right after my clowns laid the eggs? Only about 15% of water would be changed.

[@dano9040]

👍

[@davesmith2039]

Do you only sell the babies to fish stores or individuals and ship them?

[@TheAqualogy]

Dave Smith mostly fish stores, but I do individually. I haven't started shipping yet, but will soon!

[@jackson6659]

Where did u buy the pairs of clowns

[@TheAqualogy]

J-HOOK TV I know a lot of people in the industry. Usually some people were getting out of the hobby and I bought them from other breeders

[@saibot1616]

Hey man thanks for the videos. My clowns just laid eggs for the first time out of nowhere. It's too late to save these guys but I think I'm going to try and get three batches of fry during the summer. Two questions: the eggs turned brown almost after one day. Is that a bad sign? They were orange the first day but are now brown almost. They laid them on some live rock that has algae on it. Second question, do you think this kit apbreed.com/product_rotifer_starter_kit.php is enough for about three batches of fry? Thanks for the videos again.

[@TheAqualogy]

Bryan Tobias yeah that's normal. Eggs go from a bright orange to brown to silver as they develop. Yes that's a good kit to start. As far as 3 batches, you will run out of RG fast. The rotifers will produce on their own but you will need to feed RG twice a day so the 8 oz will go fast.

[@cloudeedragon103]

How can you tell when a clownfish has transformed into a female?

[@TheAqualogy]

CloudeeDragon it won't be an apparent change until you see a size difference in fish

[@TheAqualogy]

CloudeeDragon however you will see the male "shaking" like it's having a seizure

[@cloudeedragon103]

Luis Perez would that also be considered breeding behavior? Because I notice both of those things in my clowns.

[@TheAqualogy]

CloudeeDragon what I've noticed as "breeding behavior" is a little bit of shaking from both fish as well as tons of cleaning on a spot.usually my males tend to pick off all the algae in one area and I know they're going to lay soon. Also a full stomach on the female before feeding shows a belly full of eggs. Also you see the tubes sticking out on both clowns
