Anyway i thought gouramis take care of their young in the bubble nests? Heh, but i'm not too sure abt this though, better to read up more on this.
btw u studying life sciences? Or your lecturer got special interest in fishkeeping? -

Me and my brother used to keep fishes during schooling time...chicilds, tetras, carps (thought carps were big but ours remained stunted ). Good old days...

Oh yes, clownfishes and damselfishes are supposed to breed very easily in the home fishtank... provided you have a mated pair lar.Originally posted by BabyLover:wah if u mng ur clownfish muz really show us! tat wld be sumting...

now got only 3 new survivors That's why clowns and damsels are so cheap nowadays, mass produced liao.. In the Singapore marine fish forum which i go to, there are people who feed baby clownfishes to their carnivorous marine anglerfishes... a practice which i find absolutely disgusting lor.. clowns are so cute. -
Oh anyway i asked if u had water plants in your tank because i thought the egg in your pic looked like a baby water snail.. something which is commonly introduced into the aquarium with water plants.

i dinno they were so easily breed... hmm... then how how to tell d diffce for male n female huh? -
oh yah huh... not tt u mention.. looks like horOriginally posted by cornyfish2000:Oh anyway i asked if u had water plants in your tank because i thought the egg in your pic looked like a baby water snail.. something which is commonly introduced into the aquarium with water plants. -
Haiz... cos apparantly their anglerfishes will only take live fish, and they believe that marine fishes are more nutritious than freshwater fishes when used as feeders.Originally posted by BabyLover:eeewww how cld they do tat!

Oh, clownfishes all start off life as males. Only as they mature, the biggest one will change into a female. So the advice is usually to keep a small group of clowns together when young, and one of them will develop into a female as they get older. Of course this is not very practical for home fishkeepers like us so an alternative is to purchase a known mated pair from the fish shop (which is definitely much more expensive).
It might not be very wise to just try to pair any 2 clowns together cos they might just kill each other if they are not a mated pair (this killing usually applies only to the Tomato Clown and the Maroon Clown). Even if non-mated pairs coexist peacefully they're unlikely to breed also.
As for how to tell the difference, i'm not very sure but i think the female fish tends to be bigger than the males.
Anyway i've seen clownfish eggs before... they are small orange translucent pearls, just like in the show Finding Nemo
