day to day pics of ocellaris eggs

[NirvanaFan]

Does anybody have day to day pictures of ocellaris clownfish eggs from spawning to hatch? I've seen a bunch of pictures on here of fresh eggs and eggs that are about ready to hatch, but not day to day pictures of the same clutch. My pair recently started laying eggs, but I'm not sure when they did.

I'm not going to be able to raise this clutch, but maybe the next one, or the one after that. I should be receiving rotifer and phyto supplies in the middle of next week. I've got a bunch of tanks, buckets and two liter soda bottles. A couple months ago I put a tile in their tank next to their host BTA, but they kept pushing it out of the way. Maybe after they spawn a few times I will prop the tile over their spawning spot.

Here is a picture of the eggs with the proud Papa

Those look like day 4 or day 5.

very cool. Congrats! I agree with FB. Day 5

I was thinking about that old too. I knew the eggs would be small, but it is amazing to think that one of those tiny eggs could grow up to be a 3 or so inches.

I'll probably be starting another thread once I start getting ready to attempt to raise the clutch.

I've got another question. Will it hurt the eggs if they are touched by the anemones tentacles? At night, the BTA shrinks up a bit and probably touches the eggs. I haven't noticed anything bad, but you never know.

Mine are right under an anemone and it is constantly touching the eggs. Should not be a problem.

Good Luck!
