The book would be great Barry!
I was planning on setting up to raise them. I'm starting to get things in order for my cultures. Let's hope this is just a case of her getting wrapped up in tending the eggs.
Hey Phyl,
They haven't been quarreling at all. He did all the work the first few batches and now they are joined at the hip. She is tending the eggs. I'll check and see if they are changing when I get home. The cycle is slower because the tank runs at 77-78.
She always ate everything with...
What struck me as odd is this is about the fourth batch they have laid and she has been eating normal all along. He didn't eat much the first batch or two. I'll keep an eye on them and just keep tyring to get them to eat.
Thanks for the feedback, Barry.
Re: Finally - after nine years of waiting! HELP!!

After 3 months of spawning, my female has stopped eating for the last four or five days and the male is only picking occasionally.
Their only tankmate is a Cherub Angel who is doing fine...
From what I read, the Tunze seems to be a better skimmer. But you can get a used Remora with a Maxijet 1200 for about $100. That is what I have on my 55 gallon softie tank, which is where my clowns and LTA live now. The clowns are now laying eggs on a regular basis.

They...
Looks great Eric!
I was just about to sell your old minibow and my son came to me and started asking questions about it.
During Christmas break I will be teaching him how to set it up and then it will move back to the dorm with him.
Probably just a flash in the pan, but a new reefer may be...
There are indeed LFS owners who run lower salinity because they believe that it reduces parasites. And I know of some who have experienced improvements because of it. I run my own FOWLR that way.
I do agree that many customers do not acclimate correctly, but many do not run their tanks at...
** BLATANT THREAD HIJACK! ** :o
So have LTA's ever reproduced in captivity?
I've had mine about 8 years and it is still going strong.
Thanks, I needed to ask that! ;D
