I just got home and noticed that my Clowns layed eggs again.. any advice??

 

[DiscoReefRover]

Start your rotifer batch amd while your at start some phyto too cause DTS is freaking expensive I am gonna be much more prepared next round for sure cause these things can eat ... also Read Wilkersons book and read every thread on RC having to do with some one attemping to raise clown fry and dont make there mistakes ..lol but do pay attention to what works there are more than one way to skin a cat .. read read read

Chuggy suggested the same book, i guess i have to find a copy asap. All i know is, they hatch exhactly 10 days from the time the eggs was laid.

The now larger female used to be paired up with an Onyx clown. She used to be the smaller one, the onyx used to lay the eggs and she guards it. Now, shes the one that layed the eggs.
