New Percs

[fishguttz]

I picked up a pair of unmated onyx percs from Essex/Hester pet shop.
7 bucks a piece. I am trying to get them to pair up breed etc. So far the little one hides in the corner and the female to be is gorging her self on a daily supply of BBS and fish food. The juvie male gets his fare share too, don't worry. I was wondering if anyone has tried this techique to promote spawning. And yes I will add a photo soon.

I'm confused...what technique are you using to promote spawning? They haven't even paired up it seems.

In terms of breeding, will you have appropriate food and shelter for the fry? I suggest becoming a "book expert" on breeding clownfish while you wait for them to pair up, mature then decide to spawn.

Thanks deanos, sorry I was unclear. I have read Martin Moe and other experts and I am the member of several breeder groups. I guess what I was asking if anyone had seen faster pairing when BBS are introduced on a regular basis-and I just wanted to share in my exciting new purchase. I don't plan on raising the fry. I will probably sell/trade them when they pair up. (or add a fry tank).

You can't make them pair up. Either they will or they won't. Give it some time and see what happens.

i didnt know essex and hester st has a saltwater store?...i thought it was only freshwater....is it the one on essex st....its somewhat like a basement?

Auto-- it is a small store that now has one SW tank. It might not be worth a trip unless you live nearby. He has strange hours but great deals.

Naah.

Pacific is great with FW plants I always refer customer there but SW are more pricey than NWA! Pacific is in Delancey St.

I think I passed by the shop he mentioned but never notice that they have a SW tank.
