25.01.2022 #feelingblue. Newly settled yellow belly damsel (Chrysiptera hemicyanea) alongside a younger larvae. Really want to keep chipping away at these and make aquacultured damsels worthwhile. These are a royal pain to breed but watching them turn blue like this overnight is simply amazing!

18.01.2022 Having another go at some damsels. Chrysiptera hemicyanea (commonly known as the Yellow belly/azzure/kupang 1dph.) Ill keep updating this post to show progression. Fingers crossed more than one makes it this time.

18.01.2022 Gobiodon okinawae (yellow coral goby) larvae day 1. These guys are ultra uber tiny! Video was taken with 2x zoom and through a magnifying glass and you can still barely see them! Ive tried a few times but never been able to get these past 3-4 days. Really hoping to succeed with this species this year. Fingers and toes crossed!

17.01.2022 Here we have a newly settled captive bred Peppermint Shrimp (Lysmata vitatta).

13.01.2022 At 62 days, the little yellow coral gobies are starting to turn yellow and looking more and more like their adult form, so thrilled! .

12.01.2022 For those chasing copepods. This week, copepods went out to Hurstville Aquarium and tomorrow Deer Park Aquarium

11.01.2022 Live adult brine shrimp and copepods went out to Uni Hill Aquarium and Deer Park Aquarium this weekend.

09.01.2022 Blood, Sweat, Tears, & Blood Shrimp Success! I finally did it!!! My first captive bred blood shrimp. Arguably one of the most difficult shrimp to raise, took 79 days to settle and required a heap more time and money to get to this stage. I still remember as a teenager waiting outside my LFS for their order to arrive which had my first pair of blood shrimp and costed my entire weeks pay. People thought I was crazy but I would do it all over again. Dave (Deer Park) will soon have this one on display for show. Please consider supporting the little guys in the hobby, they too can make a difference. And Love all things aquacultured!

08.01.2022 Come say hello if your at the Underwater Pet Expo. I have some live copepods, rotifers, brine shrimp of various sizes, and a heap of coral plugs, tiles, and rocks. Also have some larval sexy, peppermint, and cleaner shrimp on display.

07.01.2022 Some Thor amboinensis (Sexy Shrimp) doing their thing in growout. Pleased to be breeding these again after an unsuccessful year last year.

05.01.2022 Another batch of live copepods have made their way to Uni Hill Aquarium.

05.01.2022 Looking pretty cute! Captive bred c.hemicyanea (Azure/Kupang Damsel; best viewed in HD)

05.01.2022 A larval Cleaner Shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis) at 40 days post hatch (DPH). I am possibly not even half way through their larval phase but im still excited about this .

04.01.2022 Feeding time . Captive raised pep shrimp grown to adult size using Vitalis.

03.01.2022 Made in Australia . Captive bred Chrysiptera hemicyanea (commonly known as the Azure or Kupang Damsel). After nine failed runs, one lone survivor metamorphosised from a larva to juvenile fish at 32 days post hatch.

02.01.2022 Really excited to announce a successful captive breeding attempt of yellow coral gobies (Gobiodon okinawae). As far as I know this is a species first here in Australia. Larvae are quite difficult to rear as they start out less than 2mm in length. It took a lot of work to get to this stage but hopefully it leads somewhere good. Huge thanks for all the support and much needed encouragement along the way!!

01.01.2022 Newly settled captive bred lysmata species (peppermint shrimp). Some pics here show the larval development which took 41 days before 1st settlement.
