so those are mini blenny babies that hatched in your tank?

yes they are starry blenny larva. But they didnt hatch in my tank . I artificially incubated the eggs and i have them in a dedicated larval rearing system.

Super cool and great job I was doing some looking online and couldn't find any other information on others doing this species of propagation in personal tanks? Is this something that your passionate about or just did with your pets?

extremely passionate! breeding experimental species of marine fish is what we need in this hobby considering the degradation of our natural reefs and the fact that survival rates on wild caught fish are very low . if we want to see our hobby progress i feel its imperative. i have devoted my life and time to this goal

It would be very informative and interesting for this site to have a dedicated area for fish care and breading this starry blenny stuff has really got me thinking of the future of the trade.

thanks buzz ,
i am in the process of compiling my research to add a propagation topic in this forum .
also a disease recognition and treatment protocol topic .
i hope to get them going later in the week .
thanks for the feedback.

A breeders and info for fish care would make this site even better for us we have been thinking lots about getting a pair of clowns and breading them although have read much about once they give eggs its hard to raise the babies! I hope to see a part of this site that is dedicated to fish and breading of them. Keep up the good work

Coral Beauty nipping xenia by: Danielle	Here's the one that I watched, though there are others out there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gKizvpGKPk My royal gramma and clownfish never went near it, but my yellowtail blue damsel had a blast playing inside it, so if you need to get a damsel out of your tank, this trick will probably work. I also caught every hermit crab in my tank and one snail. Note: If you make the hole too big like I did, and the fish keeps escaping, use a net to cover the hole before you grab for it. Nets travel through water much faster than hands.
Zoanthids growth? by: Tommygun	People talk of zoanthids not growing down on surfaces just up and I am here the say from personal experience that zoanthids grown up, down, around, over and everywhere they can and will if conditions are right. From what I have seen my 2" frag went to about 6" in about 8 months. Good light exposure, high nutrients, and placing my zoanthids just under where my tangs attack their food really helps feed them at the same time.
Blue Xenia by: Tommygun	GARF has some great strains of Xenia especially the giant bali xenia is my favorite
Torch, Hammer, Branching Hammer, Anchor, Frogspawn, and Grap by: Tommygun	I seem to have a really hard time keeping any of the wall hammers that I have bought and like other reefers have started to realize that if a wall hammer shows any receding of tissue at the time of sale it is not a smart investment to make. Then again it seems like most corals are not the best investments, then again the best things in life are not investment. I saw some guy online who had a tank full of just frogspawns and hammers and it was amazing.
Loose seaweed and algae by: ReefKing	any type of organic material when decomposing will create NH3 . NH3 is then reduced to nitrite .... then to nitrate . keep your clean up crew stocked and you shouldnt have problems . hermit crabs will take care of business .
