saltwater breeding

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
if i were you i would have a 55 show, 29 breeder and two 20's for grow out. If and when you see the first set pair up in the 55; transferre the pair to the 29. I'm in the middle of my own little project so i can send you info on that when it developes more.
 
it's a normal tank i just wrote breeder to specify. Two instead of one big one mainly because i like to keep individual broods apart. Just in case if one brood has a fatal issue it won't affect every fish thats been bred.
 
how would you go about seperating the broods? would you move the eggs to one of the small tanks after laied? mabie move the parents to the small tanks until the eggs are laied, remove the fry from the breeder tank after hatching? if i havent thanked you yet, thanks, your information is very helpful.
 
i remove the fry afterwards. that why i said have a breeder tank (when you figure out the who's who of your pairs; put the pair in the breeder) please do not try to tackle this task with out reading some more about this topic. I'm good but not that good to describe the whole process for you. I have no problem helping as long as you share your process and successwhen your done.
 
of course, like i said at the beginning i know (knew) nothing about salt water fish. but this discussion has deffinatly peaked my interest. i picked up a couple of books last night and plan on studying them throughly before i even set up my first salt water tank, but the information that you have provided has been very benificial.

first let me say i know nothing about saltwater fish, but i have noticed a lack of discusion when it comes to breeding any kind of saltwater fish why is this, has anyone here ever bread anything in saltwater?

There are actually several species commonly bred by hobbyists, purple dottybacks, some clownfish, seahorses, and bagarri cardinals all come to mind.
