What people need to consider about facilities like this is the more efficient we can make aquaculture, the less of an impact our hobby has on the ocean.
4 years late to the comment but, this is so true. people are so hypocrit. its fine to take out from the ocean than aquaculture? i think not. this is way better than harvesting constantly out of the ocean
This is pretty cool. Yes it's pretty heavily stocked but that's common with fish breeding. I saw no unhealthy fish, all very clean tanks and water so imo nothing wrong here. A well thought out breeding setup and expanding.
Thanks Jake for showing us a truly amazing sight. I have come to Clown fish keeping at the age of 70 having come back to UK from working in the desert more sand than water. it is a true eye opener.
Thanks for all the work in producing these vids. Great looking clowns. i’m all for captive bred specimens, but i’m still partial to the common strains on the market. It’s a lot of hard work to do what they do. Thanks again for sharing!
Great video and this way of raising Clowns for tanks is better than catching in the wild when they used to knockout fish. Once the fish are sold they mostly go to owners who treat them like gods.
#44 at 12:45. i just got a breeding pair from the local shop. they said they ordered a group of around 75 clowns from Taiwan. im gonna guess i just got some of the last really expensive pairs thy had from last shipment. im gonna get matching sea hares.
UV light from ANY fluorescent is definitely known to stimulate the onset of melanin, the black pigment. But the red color is mostly affected by pigments from food
The aquarium in Monte Carlo has a tank with hundreds of clownfish and they display the same pattern of ball-schooling in one ball even though the tank had lots of space.
really interesting setup, it seems the asian market just really knows their shit. also interests me how they dont seem stressed with so little space, i wonder how that works
Can you please tell me about the broodstock feeding habit followed over their for maturing the sub adult clownfish and a big thanks to show the variety of clown fish.
I absolutely abhor any deviation from naturally coloured clowns. It was an Ocellaris clownfish that got me fascinated with marines as a child. Saying that, i am over the moon that people have found a way of making enough money to sustain clownfish culture. It is a fantastic thing to lower the impact our hobby has on the wild. Great video Jake and i hope that and any other facility like it flourishes.
Very minimal, most of the tanks had no lighting, only what's overhead. The lighted aquariums are fish for sale and they had generic t5 tubes & LED strips just to see them
Hello, I love the setup your filming. I'm interested in the "over the tank biological filtration". Can you give me the name of the company that makes it?
I've seen some 'color' lamps for aquariums, particularly in asia, to bring our red colors, but these use actual red LEDs to make that red & orange color pop, but it's usually for arowanas and blood parrot cichlids.
Stephen Olner it's not really about what people say, if you have 70 clown dish in a tank, you cannot go 1 week in holiday anymore. So to breed some and keep maybe a handful of clown fish sure isn't a problem, but nobody can mass product them as a hobbyist (or anyway it's not a hobby anymore but a job ^^)
Truly mesmerizing….i would literally work there for free just so I can be around such beautiful fish…. You can really tell the owner has a passion for all those fish I didn’t see NOT ONE dead fish in any tanks…. Kudos to your for making this video new sub here brother
Sexing clownfish is more behavioral, there's no external features to distinguish male & female. But generally speaking you can just put any two of the same species and very different size together and the smaller one will be a male while the larger one will become a female.
Cool video once again. I would've loved so their rotifer and pod production - or was that off limits too? Any other pages regarding info for marine fish breeding? I'm reading into it atm. There's not too much going on in Europe regarding captive breeding :(
I kind of panned over the food production on the way to the larvae, but definitely check out the Coral Beauty Video for a look at hw it's done on a large scale. ua-cam.com/video/AqK6bu3g538/v-deo.html
Amazing place! Did he have any Lightning clownfish? Not sure their exact name, but they have a pattern on them where the white looks like lightning or electricity.
Hey Jake, Im very interested since the production of this video what ever became of the clown fish with blue colors, any updates from Taiwan that you can share?
Hi can anyone point me in the right direction of speaking to someone about a hybrid species that may possibly be a first of its kind. I have a black photon and a black storm and they have just spawned for the first time only having been in my tank for a month and was told they shouldn't even have paired and should have been super aggressive towards each other.
This video is mind blowing I love all the different pattenation ( my husband only likes the original occelaris type so I don't think I'm going to be getting anything like these anytime soon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍😍😍😍😍
At my local fish store there was this clownfish with the normal orange white and black stripes but the dorsal fin had no black it was really cute though I’m gonna buy it when my tank cycle is finished
This facility is beyond belief, it truly is amazing, I have never seen so many clown fish under one roof, and the water quality is Cristal clear. When the more unusual strains become more available to the world market, it’s going to be awesome. The breeder is truly dedicated to his hobby/ business, fantastic video, cheers 👍
What people need to consider about facilities like this is the more efficient we can make aquaculture, the less of an impact our hobby has on the ocean.
highly underrated comment, absolutely.
Agreed. That is the most important thing in my opinion.
4 years late to the comment but, this is so true. people are so hypocrit. its fine to take out from the ocean than aquaculture? i think not. this is way better than harvesting constantly out of the ocean
And soon we have clown fish like we have goldfishes..... I'm for protecting the ocean but against overbredded fishes
Should have never made hybrid marine fish. It’s not natural and if some get let lose in the wild you’re going to ruin the eco system
This is pretty cool. Yes it's pretty heavily stocked but that's common with fish breeding. I saw no unhealthy fish, all very clean tanks and water so imo nothing wrong here. A well thought out breeding setup and expanding.
Facts tho
Rip Jake 😢 The hobby has gained tremendously from your years of work and knowledge...Shall the legacy live on forever!!!
Damn Jake, I’ve learned so much from you. Some of my favorite videos. You will be missed
What an amazing place! Thanks so much for taking the time to show us! Big thumbs up!
That was amazing!! Thanks for taking the time to video for us. Love the ball schooling so insane
Thanks Jake for showing us a truly amazing sight. I have come to Clown fish keeping at the age of 70 having come back to UK from working in the desert more sand than water. it is a true eye opener.
Thanks for all the work in producing these vids. Great looking clowns. i’m all for captive bred specimens, but i’m still partial to the common strains on the market. It’s a lot of hard work to do what they do. Thanks again for sharing!
It's really hard to beat a perfect mature specimen of many wild clownfish, I'm partial to bluestripes (A. chrysopterus) and wild true perculas myself.
Great video and this way of raising Clowns for tanks is better than catching in the wild when they used to knockout fish. Once the fish are sold they mostly go to owners who treat them like gods.

Thanks Jake for the time it took to take this footage & For the generosity of the owner as well. Amazing clownfish and facility
Thanks Jake for your hard work. Love these beautiful clown fish.
This vid is 2 years old but it is still the most amazing video on captive bred clownfish.... Totally thumbs up!.. 👍
Awesome variety of clowns. Oive that nanobox shirt as well, Dave rocks!
I guess I am boring because I like just plain old clownfish.. Although if blue colored ones were produced I'd be down for those..
Can you post a link of your distributor, for these exact clowns
AWESOME! I really enjoyed the videos from all your stops in Taiwan!! Safe travels!
It is mind blowing, I have never seen that many clown fish before.
Thank you for sharing this with us. :)
most amazing fish store ive seen..
Are they still available?
Same thoughts
14:28 can we talk about the fact this clownfish literally looks like he has a skull mask on!?
The things I’d do to have such a beautiful fish I swear
ive been doing some testing on 4 month and up fry with different lighting for growth and also for black coloration
UV light from ANY fluorescent is definitely known to stimulate the onset of melanin, the black pigment. But the red color is mostly affected by pigments from food

Hey Jake! Love the video. I’m going to try to swing by there and do a Matt’s reefrank special as I ride thru the area. Thanks for the overview.
You're 'riding' through Taiwan?
really interesting setup, it seems the asian market just really knows their shit. also interests me how they dont seem stressed with so little space, i wonder how that works
Can you please tell me about the broodstock feeding habit followed over their for maturing the sub adult clownfish and a big thanks to show the variety of clown fish.
Is no one going to call out this guys talent and passion for these fish I didn’t see NOT ONE dead/sick fish in this guys tanks absolutely beautiful
I absolutely abhor any deviation from naturally coloured clowns. It was an Ocellaris clownfish that got me fascinated with marines as a child. Saying that, i am over the moon that people have found a way of making enough money to sustain clownfish culture. It is a fantastic thing to lower the impact our hobby has on the wild.

excellent video,,any idea what kind of lighting there using on there growout tanks
Very minimal, most of the tanks had no lighting, only what's overhead. The lighted aquariums are fish for sale and they had generic t5 tubes & LED strips just to see them
Hello, I love the setup your filming. I'm interested in the "over the tank biological filtration". Can you give me the name of the company that makes it?
What he use for fillter inside sump ?
Its that cooling system with calcium reactor in sump filter???
Love this video Jake, what a treat to have visited 😍
Totally Awesome! Thank you for sharing this with us! Keep it up!
hey reef builders what tanks is he using are those custom built and if so how much would like 40 tanks cost to produce much love thank you
I love this guy. I was so sad to learn he passed away and the circumstances around it.
At least he got to live his short life doing what he loved.
I love Clown Fish, they come in my top 5.
I hope you can make video like this more details about the system
Thanks so much for such a cool video. I can just imagine how cool it must have been to have been there in person.
Omg..! Everything types of super clownfish! Speechless. Very² cool man!! Regards
Jake, keep up the good work! But get some rest soon!
Thanks AOmega, been catching my breath in Australia the last few weeks
How do you contact these guys to buy fish off them or how do you go around choosing your clownfish
im curious about the red lighting could they be grow bulbs,are they red or purple supplemented with blue
I've seen some 'color' lamps for aquariums, particularly in asia, to bring our red colors, but these use actual red LEDs to make that red & orange color pop, but it's usually for arowanas and blood parrot cichlids.
How do u order them and how much?
my tank size is 18×18×18 so how much i need a salt plz rply me
What will be Interesting is when breeding moves from the Labs to the hobbyist
Stephen Olner it's already possible and is done but is simply too much work for hobbyist
Touli Loup they used to say the same thing about breeding discus
Stephen Olner it's not really about what people say, if you have 70 clown dish in a tank, you cannot go 1 week in holiday anymore.
So to breed some and keep maybe a handful of clown fish sure isn't a problem, but nobody can mass product them as a hobbyist (or anyway it's not a hobby anymore but a job ^^)
Most hobbiest breeders dont go on holiday anyways. I know I didn't when inbreed discus
Nothing can beat the original clownfish
Love me a wild true percula clown
What kind of media are using in the sumps?
do they using bio ceramic after skimmer chamber?
Ceramic rings all over the place, before & after the skimmer
Reef Builders do they using chiller?
This kinda sucks watching all these amazing captive bred clown fish and at my only local saltwater fish store they are all wild captured
boycott them hehe
I’d pick captive bred fish cause they’re almost always easier to keep
just gotta order online. i have 2 LFS. one sells wild caught clowns and the other is captive bred only
Is the laboratory still open?
Wow! Amazing! A question: aren't they 'jumpers'? Because as far as I can see, the tanks are pretty shallow and there are no lids.
Does anyone here know how i can view the Wysiwyg clowns for sale online? do they do that, Plsssss
Beautiful clown fish. Tanks for the video.
Truly mesmerizing….i would literally work there for free just so I can be around such beautiful fish…. You can really tell the owner has a passion for all those fish I didn’t see NOT ONE dead fish in any tanks…. Kudos to your for making this video new sub here brother
Awesome video man! I love clowns so much!
Mozart's or Picasso's? What an awesome experience! What an amazing, incredible experience. I love it!
Hi bro how to check clownfish male or female plz help me..?
Sexing clownfish is more behavioral, there's no external features to distinguish male & female. But generally speaking you can just put any two of the same species and very different size together and the smaller one will be a male while the larger one will become a female.
The best intro music on utube
Awesome!!.is he the same mr.shu who breed fish in bali to?

WOW Made 2 years ago Any in states Orlando?
Amazing place! Did he have any Lightning clownfish? Not sure their exact name, but they have a pattern on them where the white looks like lightning or electricity.
Just a few but it was a fraction of their livestock
Jake!!!!!! Wtf this place is mind blowing!!! Wow I seriously have to get me a clownfish ..... Have a safe trip back home ✌️🐟☮️
Anyone knows the best place you can order designer clowns like these?
'Aquadancing'.....does exactly what it says on the tin 🕺
Badass farm! The amount of water being changed and filtered has to be crazy!
It's hilarious that Westerners criticize the Far East's fish keeping practices when the best fish and invertebrates come from their.
Purple Groundhog Our big chain stores like Walmart, Petco and Petsmart can be horrible. They can neglect their fish especially their bettas.
An the fact that us westerners constantly have dead fish in our fish store and buy fish only to kill them due to lack of knowledge lol
Codyman isn’t that every country
There**
Come from their what
What an amazing place, I bet some of those clowns are worth thousands!!,
Great video Jake 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
That's pretty cool that they ball school so tight. It almost looks like a bee hive or something like that. They are all pretty fish.
Hey Jake, Im very interested since the production of this video what ever became of the clown fish with blue colors, any updates from Taiwan that you can share?
Reminds me of a puppy mill
Do we need to seperate them when they are big?
How to contact the sellers pls
Great video as always.
I love the reef stuff but that bonsai tree is crazy
wow incredible! Good work Jake
Absolutely amazing footage 👍🏻

Why do we not have stores like this in the US?
also these fish probably live here for about 2-4 weeks since demand for these clowns is so high [btw this is just a guess]
At my local fish store there was this clownfish with the normal orange white and black stripes but the dorsal fin had no black it was really cute though I’m gonna buy it when my tank cycle is finished
Amazing video and amazing fish,super cute balls of clowns,wow! Clown fish is numero uno!
Damn, those are some nice strains!
Phi Le not strain its a morph
Awesome. Thanks for video
This facility is beyond belief, it truly is amazing, I have never seen so many clown fish under one roof, and the water quality is Cristal clear.
When the more unusual strains become more available to the world market, it’s going to be awesome.
The breeder is truly dedicated to his hobby/ business, fantastic video, cheers 👍
What are those racks made of? Stainless steel?
Those fish are absolutely beautiful.
Cant blv my eyes,
Those clownfish can’t stop dancing,
My fav 14:30 🏆
Beautiful fish and facility.
how do l start that?
I need this sir
How to buy it ?
I am form turkey
Is this place even open now?
Never was, but they ship
How come people say clownish harem tanks are almost impossible to keep long term, but then you have a place like this?
Buddy, Where do you get all the money for the studio and the world trips ?
Is it possible to stay as a student? or receive online trainings?
Mmmm all Askoll motor block return pumps that I could see there. Smart move for a facility that needs reliability and simplicity of equipment.
AMEN Brotha!
I work in with clown fish larva
Our setup is alot different
Very clean for sure
How much r they
