They look kind of small for 37 days. What is your water temperature and feeding regimen?

yea i was thinking that too... i have moved them recently into a new fry tank and they have all grown a lot since then,..
temp is 24c. until day 6, rotifers constantly, then with brine

You should be closer to 27c. Raise their temperature a bit, and you will get much better growth. You also need a bit more surface agitation for better Oxygen exchange in order keep misbars to a minimum. I see you have some live rock, you could benefit a lot by using a sponge filter, which will also aid in aeration and better biological filtration. How often do you do water changes now? These are my typical juveniles at 34 days.

Dang Enriq yours is huge for 37 days old mine are not anywhere near that size and I keep the water at 27c and have lots of aeration along with feeding 3 times a day.

Congrats.. They are a lot of fun to watch them grow and get their stripes.

I think your are true percs? It is my understanding that their growth rate is significantly slower than occys. They also get stripped at lot later in life. So us occy breeders get 3 stripe clowns within 30 days typically.

I dont think there are amonia alerts in new zealand...but i test the water often.
My other fry tank is growing coraline :O
