Looking good guys! Hey reeffreak, what which types are you planning on getting? Also post some pics of your breeder system.
I have been contemplating breeding some clowns as well.

Do you have your system set up yet? I would be interested in seeing how you designed it.
I think it great that there is some interest in breeding locally. The more people doing it, the more opportunity to learn and share successes and techniques. If people stay interested in breeding for a while, there would also be opportunities to trade breeding pairs or offspring, etc.

its not 100% set-up I drilled my 15 g tanks the other day , building a stand today and need to find a small sump then Im just taking water out of the frag system to fill it all up , so should have it up and running by the end of the week , I have to pick up a snowflake and black and white pair from copperkills at the end of the month also .
I agree with what you said about all the breeders but theres a downfall to it aswell depending on why your breeding just to try it out or to actually make a little profit . Plus 4 guys breeding the same pair of clowns within an hour distance just turns me right off of the idea . It would be nice if we all had different pairs then the idea of trading would work but that only works if were not all trying the same type .

Agreed... there are lots of breeding combos available at the moment.
During my research I came across a few breeders selling their breeding pairs....
$500 ORA Female Reg Perc/Proaquatix Picasso

$900 ORA Platinums
http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm281/geckojrf/100_2110.jpg
I personally think the prices are crazy too expensive and it takes the fun out of it if they are already laying eggs.

I will not spend anymore then $300 for a pair , Im going to pick up a pair of black ice next week , also may pick up 2 pairs of picasso ones set breeding one set just paired . Problem with finding clowns inOntario is everyone wants those insane ass prices $900 that really is a joke , I will gaurentee they wont sell . someone can buy 2 juv and pair them and save $750 might take a bit longer but really I will wait it outand save 750 lol .
I will start a thread on my breedr build later , im not running breeders and fry on the same system . So for now I will justhave the breeder set-up till I see eggs then I will drill the rest of my tanks and go from there .

Yeah, I have been in contact with Tal, he has an awesome breeder setup! He also made me aware of the upcoming Marine Breeder Initiative conference on July28 in Michigan. It would probably be a good place to network with other breeders too.
