Old clowns....

[lrood]

When I was feeding my fish last night, I got to wondering how long I have had my percula pair. Looked back at my records and found that they were purchased in spring of 2006 (they were approx 1" in size then). Now over 10 years old, still faithfully spawning. And my yellow tang was purchased a couple of months after them, also still healthy & looking good. Hope I haven't jinxed them!

Nice!! Have you been able to hatch and raise any of their fry?

Definitely like hearing these kinds of stories. Makes me hopeful to have some fishy friends for years to come.

That is awesome!! 10 year old marine fish is cool...cmrun was telling me at the meeting the other day he has a couple fish that are almost 14 years old!!

I used to raise them, but haven't for some time now. Here is a short vid of a batch from a few years ago. Looking at this makes me want to raise them again!

That is supper cool! If my clowns ever start spawning I will def give it a try to raise them.
