    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.

    • @dmlmedia7382

      highly underrated comment, absolutely.

    • @granitestateangler4226

      Agreed. That is the most important thing in my opinion.

    • @packingtroll
      @packingtroll 2 роки тому +1

      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

  • @nealenns7869
    @nealenns7869 6 років тому +80

    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.

  • @gsander4837
    @gsander4837 7 років тому +8

    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!

    • @ReefBuildersVideo
      @ReefBuildersVideo  7 років тому +4

      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.

  • @clintonyorke
    @clintonyorke 6 років тому +10

    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.

    ive been doing some testing on 4 month and up fry with different lighting for growth and also for black coloration

    • @ReefBuildersVideo
      @ReefBuildersVideo  7 років тому +1

      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

  • @SpaghettiKillah

    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.

  • @cameronjones8641
    @cameronjones8641 4 роки тому +13

    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.

  • @victorm3146
    @victorm3146 7 років тому +1

    excellent video,,any idea what kind of lighting there using on there growout tanks

    • @ReefBuildersVideo
      @ReefBuildersVideo  7 років тому +1

      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

    im curious about the red lighting could they be grow bulbs,are they red or purple supplemented with blue

    • @ReefBuildersVideo
      @ReefBuildersVideo  7 років тому +1

      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.

    What will be Interesting is when breeding moves from the Labs to the hobbyist

    • @tiloalo
      @tiloalo 7 років тому +1

      Stephen Olner it's already possible and is done but is simply too much work for hobbyist

    • @StephenOlner
      @StephenOlner 7 років тому

      Touli Loup they used to say the same thing about breeding discus

    • @tiloalo
      @tiloalo 7 років тому +1

      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 ^^)

    • @StephenOlner
      @StephenOlner 7 років тому +1

      Most hobbiest breeders dont go on holiday anyways. I know I didn't when inbreed discus

    • @ReefBuildersVideo
      @ReefBuildersVideo  7 років тому +2

      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.

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.
