The Lightning Project

The ongoing saga of the PNG Lightning Maroon Clownfish breeding project.

Since the Lightning Project started, and particularly once progeny first became available, I’ve had countless inquiries about purchasing Lightning Maroon Clownfish direct from me.  In 2013 and 2014, all the offspring I had to offer were sold exclusively through Blue Zoo Aquatics and the team there. 2015 saw a dramatic uptick in production and availability […]

Another post I’ll probably be updating for a while..just tracking spawns. The most recent spawn of the Lightning X Lighting F1 pair here was on November 16th, 2015, their 24th spawn. The original wild Lighting X White Stripe pair spawned again, a very small clutch of orange eggs, on Sunday, November 22nd, 2015; their 65th […]

There are pretty crappy images, but they are the offspring of the MD1 X MD2 Lightning X White Stripe pair. Wholesale customers have access to these fish at this time.

Been a while since I shared photos of the F1 spawning Lightning X Lightning pair.  So here’s how they look now:

First up, housekeeping.  I’ve been lax on recording spawn dates because these days, since I’m not actively rearing fishes until the fishroom rework is done, the info just doesn’t REALLY matter all that much.  Still, might as well record them. For the original wild Lightning X White Stripe pair, their most recent spawn was Sunday, […]

Before I simply forget, I need to note that the wild Lightning X White Stripe pair, the foundation pair, threw down a spawn I found on Sunday, 7-12-2015. This is their 60th documented spawn in captivity! And now, 2 days later, the F1 Lightning offspring were putting down a spawn around 5:30 PM, 7-14-2015. This […]

Yes, when you’re not actively rearing any spawns (due to a planned fishroom redesign) tracking them seems to fall out of priority rather quickly.  That said, it’s a habit I should stick to, even if it makes for rather mundane blog updates!  Gotta record the data. Wednesday, June 24th, the F1 Lightning X Lightning pair […]

Yes…it’s that time again, more spawns to just track for now. First up is the F1 Lighnting X Lightning pair; they threw down a nest on 6/14/2015; the eggs hatched out the following Sunday night leading into Monday, so 6/21.  That was the 13th spawn. Meanwhile, downstairs in the fishroom, the original F0 pair of […]

Yes, the monotonous drone of logging spawns continues….the 57th spawn from the wild pair (Lightning X White Stripe) was found on Saturday evening, June 6th, 2015.

It appears that I had a spawn of the wild Lightning Maroon X White Stripe pairing over the Memorial Day holiday.  I’m guessing it was put down on Monday (May 25th), but it could have been Sunday (May 24th) as well. This is their 56th spawn.
