Clown loach breeder video

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I watched that vid sometime back and had one big issue with it. We saw lots of clowns but what we never saw in the vid were clown eggs or tiny clown fry. He has another vid with smaller clowns, but they are not what I would call fry and there were still no eggs or wigglers.

Considering how difficult it is to spawn clown loaches you would think anybody doing it could document every stage from spawning to going free swimming. Yet this part of the process is not shown.

Why would anyone document this process? Why would anyone share? Whats with the scepticism? Not many fish farmers / breeders are social media sharers although this is slowly changing. Dry fertilisation is very time critical so unless someone else is recording, it's unlikely to get documented. Also developing eggs - embryos make very boring subjects. One species look the same as any other until colouration or distinctive shapes occur.

I've got some photos of my post fertilised clown loach eggs, taken at least a decade ago. Happy to email you these privately if you do NOT share. Send me your email address via private message.
