So our mated pair decided to get busy sometime last week and my science club students discovered their eggs this morning.
From what I've been reading they should hatch tonight (they are silvery with eye spots). We are not ready to attempt rearing at this moment, perhaps for the next clutch.
I assume we'll need:
Fry tank, 5-10g, with airstone.
Phytoplankton
Rotifer culture
Any advice on this process? Black out the Fry tank? Siphon out the fry right after hatching? Match salinity? Water changes? Does the Fry tank have to be empty? Can I use an empty reef tank (live rock, sand, chaeto, no fish)?
My students were researching the process this morning but figured I'd check in here as well.
