Breading pair of clowns

[William3292]

Hi,

I have a breading pair of clowns in a small Elos nano tanks, they stopped breading about 4 months ago but have now laid eggs again a few days ago in a rock,

the strange thing this time is the eggs are a blue grey colour, not the usual orange

does anyone know if there is a problem with these as I plan to transfer the rock to a small tank in the hope they hatch and grow up?

Looks like you just didn't catch them on the day they laid them, check out the picture I posted in this thread of eggs on day 5

same colour as day one, watched them lay ?

Day 1 they were bright orange, I did observe the female laying them.

Just out of curiosity, what do you do when the eggs hatch? Do you try to raise them or...?

You asking myself or the OP?

Either is fine. I read that your pair has already had eggs, if you don't mind. Thanks.

I've been allowing these first few clutches to go into the water column. I will be trying to rear the next more then likely.

I bet that would be a rewarding challenge though. Keep us informed on how it goes.

Jim,

I'll be doing a thread in the fish breeding forum so keep your eyes there a few times a week and it will pop up.

Awesome. Thanks for doing this for the rest of us!
