very cool, is that a shoal tang that comes int here in the vid to peck at the eggs?

 

[zef004]

She tries too. But mom keep them all in check for now. Eggs are still there this morning. You can make out the eyes now.

Update They hatch last night.I suck as many as I can out of the tank last night. I guess I'm going to give it a try. Got them in a 10gal with a air stone. Can't take any pic to small. I some culture green water start (rotifers) from seahorse source. Wish me luck guys.

MOFIB.org FTW.

I'm really wanting to raise clownfish one day for the fun of it. Good luck trying! MOFIB has a TON of GREAT info. And some of the major players in ornamental aquaculture hang out there, too, including Matt Wittenrich and some others.

Thanks Brandon I've already talk to Matt about them and he point me to the website too.

Very cool, man. Needless to say, he hangs out on there, too.

I need to visit again. Its a great forum, I just don't have the space for grow out right now.

Same here I tried they last a day. When they hatched they look like a eye with a tail. I would love to have a10-20gal tank with load of baby clownfish.

Maybe one day we'll both be able to.

Long term, I'd like to do mandarins, too.
