Four Year old Clowns Mating

Ok, two things. The water is very green. Cut back on your food. They are not going to eat all that food. Keep it consistent. You are just feeding them way too much food My experience is that you should just watch as they eat. They should not have to swim more than 2 body lengths to get their food. The water should have a slight green tint.. nothing completely opaque.

Thanks dalilgriffith. I believe you are right, I have been trying to thin out the rotifers today by doing a 25% water change, but tonight they are just as dense as they were earlier. They are just multiplying so fast because I am adding too much phyto to the water. I'm doing another 25% change tonight and I won't feed any more phyto until the water clears up some and I don't have too many rotifers floating around.

Thanks,

The fry are doing well today. I have seen maybe 10 on the bottom, the rest are swimming around near the top. I have tried feeding some Otohime A but they did not seem to be going for it yet. I am starting my brine shrimp hatchery tonight. Also, the parents have laid another clutch of eggs!
