So yesterday I go to my lfs, purchase a couple clowns from a clutch raised locally. I mention that I follow a reefer on you tube that is starting to raise clownfish. The guy working in the store nods and says Bahama Llama! I said Yes! Remy, love that guy!
Remy, your videos are always so fun and interesting. There are a lot of salt-water reef aquarium videos out there, but I keep coming back to yours :) Anemones are my favourite creatures - other than my cat - I first saw them 42 years ago in a rock pool in France. Keep up the great work.
Love this guy because his passion is inspiring! You are not “just a guy” you truly love these fish. I wish everyone great luck and great fortune. I am looking to start and doing tons of research. Not to mention, the hubs works at Petco so just waiting for the 1$ a gallon sell. Then it’s on. Another great video.
You all prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my password. I love any tips you can give me.
Awesome stuff. You Ben and Tyler always impress me with your knowledge, passion and just going for it. Can't wait to see what Ben drops as my clown harem needs more nems as they are getting a little bigger and more aggressive. Another great video, thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
The update just made me that more impatient, lol. BensNems, Can't wait for the drop and my first NEM!!!!!! REMY when are you going to start your site for llamas, frags and more? lol And who's the Aiptasia who gave this vid a thumbs down?!
Great selection. I hope everything is on track and this new venture is most fruitful. Perhaps these new breeders help drive prices down for these high end clowns and nems.
love love love your videos man. i have an idea to grow out specialty shrooms to help alleviate costs in the hobby!! and im starting that venture this weekend!!
I’m in the process of stocking a 40 breeder reef tank of my own and the fish I’m thinking about are 2 clowns, white tail bristletooth tang (I keep hearing different opinions on the matter but my lfs says it’s ok and I’ve seen yellow and bristles in 40 gallons before) , blue spot jaw fish and a wrasse (going back and forth of a few) just wanted to hear your opinion since you take great care of your tanks
As far as the tang goes...I have a tomini in my frag tank but it's 4ft long so he's got some room to roam. Not knowing your experience level (you might be an expert) I'd say that's a lot of money to spend for a 40 breeder. With the blue spot and white tail that's close to $300-400 in two fish...unless you're getting a deal. I think they'd all get along ok. Personally I'd want a big display for a spectacular fish like the white tail.
@@BahamaLlamaCoral thanks I’m also planning on getting some designer clowns for it too but money isn’t an issue I’m more worried about everyone getting along
@@bensnems4019 if you end up going will you post something on your Instagram? I live an hour south and work nights so making it won’t be a easy but I’ll definitely set an alarm to catch the back half of the swap if you’re there also.
Seems like his business is gone. Was in search of a long clowns and names for a 150 harem build. If anyone knows where to find Ben and if he still is doing this, please drop a comment.
Can someone help me out? I have a frag tank that has been going for two months now and I have a lot of red-brown algae in my tank and sump and my skimmer fills up with nasty water every two days. Is it high phosphates or what?
I'd say cyano, which kinda blankets the bottom of the tank and various surfaces. If it's stringy it's probably dinos. Dinos are actually caused by having too little PO4 and NO3 in the tank. So if you test and those both come up 0 it's probably dino.
Typically, if you're new to keeping nems you'd wanna wait for the aquarium to establish a bit. 6 mos - 1 year. Like Ben said though..there are so many variables.
You know how they say a mechanics car is always broken, so does electricians never finish the job? I noticed that he had a electrical outlet with no cover on it. Lol
Did it throw you off? I should start mixing it up. I think it might be cool to have people send me hats from their day job. I'd wear those in videos...even if they weren't reef related.
Yes Fridays will be the drops . This week should be fun with a little twist . There's a countdown timmer in the wedsite . Happy reefing and thank you !!!!
To bad that phrase at 13:23, they all started, idnt always feasible. Wether it's money, space, or time, many people can't start at all. Only lucky ones or privileged ones get to start most of the time. Majority don't get that privilege. It's a nice saying, but a saying that is more false than true.
Is Ben mixing strains of anemones in the same system of water? That’s a NO NO. Also breeding seahorses is a full time job. They procreate like it’s their jobs. Culling happens a lot with all the sickness, defects. I love seeing fellow reefers trying to learn more and get into it. But one thing at a time and do a little more research before losing stock. Really look into mixing nems first. 🌱🌿🌴 #PS1A
Nice job supporting your buddy - it looks like he's doing things the right way and I wish him success 👍 🦉🍻
Thanks for the updated tour of Ben's establishment! How exciting to be starting a new business! I'm heading to his website next!
Thanks for the support! Ben is a cool dude!
Yay another tour video! My clownfish also just started hosting my Duncan.
Silly clowns! Lol!
My clowns host my toadstool lol
Ben is killing it right now! Really looking forward to the website drop! Keep going and growing BensNems! Awesome update Remy
Thank you !!!

@@BahamaLlamaCoral SWEET! as someone who does a lot of presentations, your channel is not only informative, but also entertaining!
Anxiously waiting for Ben’s website to launch already!!!
Sooooon!
Mann... this guy is putting in some work!
He's nonstop!
Yeesss I have been waiting on the anemone farm they all look so good!!!

Anytime! Thanks for the love as always!
@@BahamaLlamaCoral Np thanks for the help
Always wanted a nem only tank! That’s sick!
5 Adult Chicago Sunbursts in that 125g! So gorgeous!

One day we will all be able to buy Remys coral/clownfish online, I know it.
Might have to convince Ben to let me ship... 😉
@@BahamaLlamaCoral can’t wait!

I somehow lost my password. I love any tips you can give me.
Yes another vid😎
YESSSS!
Nice video Remy.. Ben has an idea which he made a reality. He is totally on point.. 👍
That's for sure! Fun to witness! Inspired me as well.

Such kind words !!! Thank you so so much !!! Can't wait to see you at the stl frag swap !!!!
I really appreciate that! I can't wait to see what you pick up!
Great video remy!
Glad you enjoyed it
so cool I have two clowns right now maybe ill add some more clowns are those clowns quarantined . thanks
You got it!
Really love your videos 😍😍😍
Will be checking this drop out for sure I need a nice Nem 👍🏼
Good luck! Hope you grab something up!
Nice ,good luck Ben👍👍👍
Thank Danny!!!!!!
Thanks for the watch Danny!

Lol - there's always 2-3 people that instantly give it a thumbs down. Maybe it makes them feel better? I'm ok with that.
these anemones are super cool :o
Love the intro!
It's different. Thought I'd change it up a bit. Nice to see ya here Cyndi!
@@BahamaLlamaCoral gotta support the Sicce family and fellow reefers! Slowly making my way to TH-cam 😂
I agree !!!! Thanks Cyndi !!!!
Rooting for Ben!!! Chase those dreams, buddy! I really want to know the light spectrum of that nem tank.. those colors POP!!!
Thanks outlaw!!!!! Just 100% blues and royals on ai sols
oof, don't see that his website is up anymore. hope he's doing well
I love that we have all this going on locally (Saint Louis area) no long shipping waits. 👍
Great selection. I hope everything is on track and this new venture is most fruitful. Perhaps these new breeders help drive prices down for these high end clowns and nems.
You need to do a nem video describing all the rare rems
We'll get there! The highest end at this point are Chicago Sunbursts and he's got a lot of those. I think he's got some rare stuff coming soon!
I was just checking to see if i missed your video this week.
March was weird. Hoping to bounce back in April!
Very nice
Is this guy still around? I cannot find his website.
Thanks for helpping me learn more. I'm new to salt water tanks and I'm worried I'm going to mess it up
Inspirational bro ✊ Thank you.
Awesome.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video Remy! Love your channel 🤟
Geeked whenever you guys watch! Thanks C & E!
Remy, will you post up the location of the swap again? Unless things change, I'm planning on making the drive down there next weekend.
Oakville Elks Lodge - 2726 Oakville Elks Ln, St. Louis, MO 63129 - April 10th 11a-3p
@@BahamaLlamaCoral sweet! 2.5 hours away.
I had three nano tanks with three pairs of clowns in each tank, moved the all to my 180 now they all act like family.
Something about a group of clownfish is just so cool!
Anyone know what happen to Ben ????
Try moonlight cycle. I had a pair for more than a year then added neptune lsm and babies happened soon after. Good luck
Really enjoyed this video..just subbed 👍

Hey REM!!!
Good video buddy. I’m unable to find Scott Crowe on TH-cam? Any pointers?
Thanks buddy!! 👍👍

Feel the cardboard in the windows is now a meme 😉
Lol. Maybe those should be my sticker panels? I've got so many stickers I haven't displayed yet!
@@BahamaLlamaCoral Great idea 👍
Love the channel; just a note, the Link to Bens Nems above does not connect to an active website.
Thank you! I believe the site is no more.
sadly his site isnt up anymore
Lots of work
You can say that again!
i still wonder to this day how he onlyhas 12k subs ive been here since under 1k
Thank you!
Do you know if Ben is going to be at the frag swap with some nems?
Maybe .........

Where did u get that sump/macro tank
What happened to his site?

Update on this tank👀
Much respect, when will your Nem's be available for purchase sir? I got my eye on one of them sunburst. Amazing color's
try adding in a third clown first that way it should kick start the instincts within the male and female
In my tank? Is that a common practice to get clownfish to spawn?
Does Ben do rock flowers??
Not yet. It's on the list though.
I don't usually like clownfish but when I do....they are longfins. Stay thirsty my friends!
Lol! Those white long fins at thee end are BEAUTIFUL!
Remi i want to start anemones tank how long do I have to wait to get them and can I get Ben's website like to check him out my name is jack
Bensnems.com so many variables on when to add.
Typically, if you're new to keeping nems you'd wanna wait for the aquarium to establish a bit. 6 mos - 1 year. Like Ben said though..there are so many variables.
I’m Watching with my 2 clown fish and fire fish lol
Revisiting this video....... I feel like my time is coming.
To start a business?
You know how they say a mechanics car is always broken, so does electricians never finish the job? I noticed that he had a electrical outlet with no cover on it. Lol
Love it I was waiting for someone to say something. I snapped the cover on Monday.
😂
You had a different hat on for once 🤯
Did it throw you off? I should start mixing it up. I think it might be cool to have people send me hats from their day job. I'd wear those in videos...even if they weren't reef related.
I don't see a huge amount off movement?
I take it he doesn’t have a web site anymore
Hey Guys you can’t really put different anemones types in the same tank ?!
It's not recommended. I'm not sure what the outcome here was.
Not much on his webpage
The main drop was on Friday so you missed out on a lot of it. No worries though, check back again this Friday.
Yes Fridays will be the drops . This week should be fun with a little twist . There's a countdown timmer in the wedsite . Happy reefing and thank you !!!!
Do not do Dwarf seahorses. constant supply of live brine feed 3 times a day and dally water changes.
I’d like to see the electric bill:)

He better have a separate system for every specie of nems or his business won't last. Been there unfortunately
