Ostentum's snowflake fry batch 2 (1 Viewer)

[Ostentum]

New Batch was laid yesterday. Since I have the time now, going to attempt to raise this set, hopefully donnie gets my stuff in before they hatch. Had to order the Chloram-X and the Rotigrow Plus.

Nice, there are some good looking clowns in that bunch. I started the rotis today. Its amazing, started with 2x 16oz bottle of dense rotis, I put 1/2 a bottle in one bucket, 1/2 in a second bucket and a full bottle in the 3rd bucket. I tinted the water a nice green color, came back a few hours later and was amazed at how clear the water had become from them eating the rotigrow plus. Tomorrow I am going to add another gallon of water to each bucket and tint it back up, going to work up to 3x 3/4 full buckets of rotis. That way I can rotate which bucket I sieve the rotis from so I always have a good population available.

Tell you what, give me a few weeks to get them on prepared food and you can come pick one out (with a few exceptions, lol, I'm already getting attached to some)

just let me know when and i'm there.

My name is Robert I am new to the forum. I was reading your posts and would be interested in one of your clowns when they are ready. Let me know the price.

I recently switched the baby clowns entirely onto dry baby fish food (TDO). I have to say I am amazed at the growth rate difference! They're doing great on it.

Looking cool Cat, well done!! My SA fancy snows are showing all the signs of nesting, so if/when they lay a batch you are more than welcome to try raising them

That's awesome Cat. Can't wait to watch them grow bigger.

Thanks everyone I've been on a trip for the past week, got home and boy have they grown! Looking really good so far. I'll post pictures when I have some time, got a lot to catch up on.

Cool! I just got a pair of fancy snows myself, Dennis still has them at his shop but I'm really excited about them, really cool patterning.

How much longer before you think you will start releasing them to us? and how much are we looking at each?

 

[tektite]

I still have no idea, possibly the non-snowflake at 3 months (they're 6 weeks old now). I'll be keeping the snowflake longer than that, let their patterns develop a bit more.

great pics as always

the misbar snowflakes looks cool...

 

[tektite]

I know, I like them. Unfortunately the white will expand till they're normal snowflake as they mature. A number of the snowflakes that have the orange horizontal v shape going into the back of the second white stripe were misbarred when they were younger.

 

[jose1204]

I can't wait to get a few of this....
