clutch of eggs

[salineh2o]

I found a clutch of Eggs today right next to the open Anenome. They fish are skunks. I am afraid when the Anenome closes at night they will get eaten. Any pointers would help thanks. Can I take the eggs away from the pair?

The clowns will guard the eggs. Nothing to worry about there. If you intend to try to raise the fry, you'll need to have rotifer and green water cultures already up and running (read any of the threads in this forum about it). It takes some advance planning to raise the fry.

Agreed -- it actually takes a lot of advance planning. You have time though. Most people recommend letting a few clutches go before actually trying to raise the fry.

Once a pair start to lay eggs, if conditions in your tank stay the same, they typically don't stop. Good luck and have fun!
