That is so cool. Many will see your name written in a textbook someday and say "I think I know him." Your starting at a young age; I hope your ambitions leans you towards a [Marine Biologist] or a [Veterinarian]. You are off to a Great start.

Remember to keep your resume updated with all your accomplishments. I believe your college will be paid for by the university that you choose, the scholarships are available and you are well on your way to obtaining many scholarships. Keep your journals up to date also. I look forward to seeing your name in a textbook soon.

Thanks guys. And I'm still leaning towards a marine biologist. So I'll have to post some more pics today. School has been SUPERR busy. I was going to buy a actually good camera ( I've been using my iphone ) because I love taking pictures espically of animals. But I think I'm probably going to spend the money on the expo coming up and a small breeding setup. The batch of eggs are most likely going to hatch on Sunday or Monday so I guess I'll be setting up another tank lol.

So update- their is 2 fry left. I don't know what it is but they grow kind of slow. Batch#2 should hatch on Sunday. I took some pics of the eggs and took a video if the fry.


I'm HORRABLE at taking videos.... Lol I really am sorry about focussing in and out a lot...

Here's some update pics.

So I have one survivor from the first batch I raised... It's starting to show a very light tent of yellow and actually looks like a fish. And most of the eggs hatched when I was at the monthly meeting that were layed about 9 days ago so I collected as many as I could when I got back to my house. I probaly have around 50 right now and this will be the second night.

And sorry for the bad pics again. I really need to get a camera.

So the 6 day old clownfish look the same but are darker in color. And as for the last clownfish I had from my first batch it had gotten HUGE. I believe it is now 21days old. I still can't figure out how I could yet some good picture but I'll try to take some when I get home from school later.

So here's some update pics. They are 12 days old. I'm sure they will be done with meta in a couple days and I have a lot more than I though I would. I think around 15. So here's some pics.

I'll give you a couple weeks and you have the [little guys] coming right up to the camera.

As I stated before, you're off to a great start at such a young age. We'll be seeing your name listed in the front of a textbook before you know it. Well done!!

Thanks. The babies are very shy but that would be awesome if they came up to the camera,

Great job!

So I still have 2 babbies left. They look like their parents but with a really dark yellow. They are still small. So this is going to be my last post on this thread as summer is here and my school is out and I'm going to be on vacation ALOT. I won't have time to culture any phytoplankton or rotifers and I'm having to get a new tank and I'm sure when I switch tanks the clowns are going to stop laying. I'm going to try to save the phyoplankton for 2 months until school starts back up and I can start collecting eggs again. It was fun to do this and I wasn't as successful as I would like to be but I'm going to try again so hopefully im more successful.

Thanks for anyone who gave me phytoplankton and rotifers.
And I know the picture is hard to make out but you can see the white stripe with the body. Hopefully these guy live for a while.
