Help me raise these maroon clown eggs

[tonym10]

I dont think they were lost to snails or crabs. They didnt turn white from fungus, I didnt look overlly close at them this morning, but it looked like they had the silver tips at the tops of the eggs.
I guess they will spawn again in a few days. I will move the morning of day six this next time just in case. At least I will have a really good population of rotifers and phyto.

Just as a side note...

You may want to feed your clowns some cyclopeeze and spirulina. The eggs are a good color for Ocellaris, but IME you get stronger fry if they are more of a red color with maroons.

New batch of eggs thas afternoon Sunday 1/08 . What day should I move these eggs?
My phyto cultures and rotifer cultures are doing real well for this batch.

Today is day 6 for the eggs. this is the night they hatched on the last batch.
Should I move them now or wait till tomorow?
Another question, should I ave rotifers is the larvae tank when I put the eggs in there or wait till he eggs hatch , then put the rotifers in?

Tonight day 7 I moved the eggs. I have the tile leaning on a corner in the 10g with an airstone under the tile. Is this the proper pacement for the airstone? How do I know if I have enough air flow or too much?
Thanks

The eggs did not hatch last night, and I guess I didnt have enough air water movement on them because they deveopled a film over them. I gently swayed the tile in the tank to get the film off the eggs , the film came off along with about 30% of the eggs. So I am quessing that none of the eggs will hatch, but I added more air for movement right on the eggs and will see what happens tonight.

No eggs made it.
Will try again next time, will wait till day egg, and get more water movement.
