Clownfish fry

[traymitch1]

It finally happened. I came home at 2am this morning to a Nano-cube full of free swimming clown fish fry. I didn't scoop them all out so when I woke up again at 10am they were all gone except 8. So I managed to put them in a little nursery tank to raise them. It was a cool experience to see hundreds of them swimming. I guess the feeding corals ate of most of them. I'll be ready to save more if not all next time. Any tips on raising them and getting them to eat while their that small?

Very cool, my eggs are silver today (one week later). I imagine they will be hatching tonight or tomorrow.

theres a fish breeding forum on here, if you search within that, youll find whatever questions/answers you might have in there. good luck with the little guys!

Okay bawla47 i'll do that. Hey Joel let me know how you do with your batch. I think its going to take 2 or 3 hatches before I master it. Im trying to get the rotifers thing down pack.

Hey Tray, My eggs are in the 125 at the resort I manage, so I either need to pull the rock today and bring it to another tank, sleep here all night (not gonna happen), or ask the security guard to siphon them out, lol. I will probably see how you do, how hard it is, and then decide if I am ready to put them in their own tank for future clutches. Best of luck to you. Let me know how it goes.

Here is the link to the thread I posted last week.
