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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
This facility is beyond belief, it truly is amazing, I have never seen so many clown fish under one roof, and the water quality is Cristal clear. When the more unusual strains become more available to the world market, it’s going to be awesome. The breeder is truly dedicated to his hobby/ business, fantastic video, cheers 👍
really interesting setup, it seems the asian market just really knows their shit. also interests me how they dont seem stressed with so little space, i wonder how that works
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.
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 ^^)
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
Most western hobbyists don't have access to tropical waters, stock is expensive and daily salt water changes are prohibitive both in time and money. This reminds me of goldfish just with salt.
@@robert6106 Most asian hobbyists don't have enough space, Don't have cool waters. Tanks and other equipment are expensive and we too don't have time. What you are seeing is a fish exporter so they have to cramp fish. our fish shops are small even the famous ones are small while for western countries most fish shops are the size of supermarkets. We make do with what little space with have and cramping fishing together is how we keep livestock cheap. I'm sure your fish shops would do daily water changes too.
Hello, I love the setup your filming. I'm interested in the "over the tank biological filtration". Can you give me the name of the company that makes it?
Truly mesmerizing….i would literally work there for free just so I can be around such beautiful fish…. You can really tell the owner has a passion for all those fish I didn’t see NOT ONE dead fish in any tanks…. Kudos to your for making this video new sub here brother
Can you please tell me about the broodstock feeding habit followed over their for maturing the sub adult clownfish and a big thanks to show the variety of clown fish.
At my local fish store there was this clownfish with the normal orange white and black stripes but the dorsal fin had no black it was really cute though I’m gonna buy it when my tank cycle is finished
It's hard to tell what the right "density" is for these fish. You can make a point that they are showing their natural behavior with these balls, and they would probably feel less safe in smaller numbers. And that's actually what these fish do, if kept in home aquariums in small numbers, they scare like crazy. If these fish felt stressed out, they would grow badly and be very susceptible to disease.
#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.
I have true Percula clowns and I'm thankful to have them in my tank and they thrive. True ocean clowns are the ones you want to have. Would you want a Ferrari wrapped in Green and Blue with pink and yellow stripes or would you want a true red 458 Italia? You might as well get a freshwater neon Tetra.
Cool video once again. I would've loved so their rotifer and pod production - or was that off limits too? Any other pages regarding info for marine fish breeding? I'm reading into it atm. There's not too much going on in Europe regarding captive breeding :(
I kind of panned over the food production on the way to the larvae, but definitely check out the Coral Beauty Video for a look at hw it's done on a large scale. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AqK6bu3g538.html
Omg if I could just get one pair 🤤 Dude this video is almost unbearable to watch with all of these beautiful fish. Really wish I could put an order in with this guy.
This video is mind blowing I love all the different pattenation ( my husband only likes the original occelaris type so I don't think I'm going to be getting anything like these anytime soon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍😍😍😍😍
Hey Jake, Im very interested since the production of this video what ever became of the clown fish with blue colors, any updates from Taiwan that you can share?
Amazing place! Did he have any Lightning clownfish? Not sure their exact name, but they have a pattern on them where the white looks like lightning or electricity.
