Clownfish Pair Spawned

[hyacinth]

I've had this chrysopterus pair for about 7 years and never noticed them have a batch of eggs until today. I don't know what to do with the eggs--I know there's not a chance any will survive if i don't intervene but it's cool to see the pair interact w/ each other and their babies. So far other fish and invertebrates haven't bothered the eggs..

i need all the help i can get since i know nothing. i do have joyce wilkerson's book on clownfish which i should start reading. if you or someone experienced can help me with the eggs at least this first time, i'd be happy to split the spawn or whatever you think is fair....it's on a rock that can be easily removed but it does have a couple of RBTAs attached...

I have learned that the first few spawns are pretty weak, so let this one go and prep for the fourth or fith spawn that is when the fry will be strong enough to survive. But the best thing to do right now is establish rotifer cultures and read Wilkersons book, so much good info in that book!!!

Tyler (morandi wine) really knows his stuff about clowns. He was on the short list of people I turned my clowns over to when I left for Tonga.-Jim
