Ian's onyx breeding log

[ian20]

my onyx clowns have lay there fist batch of egg around 5/25/09. I do not plan to raise the babies right now as this is the worst time for me. I bought a house and I am still not even fully unpacked yet. I do plan to give it a try as soon as I get settled in, apparently the fish settled in faster than me. for now is will be a log so i can keep track of the parents and there nests, post pictures and hopefully get some advice.
Thanks Ian

Here is a picture of the parents a month after coming home from the pet store. I took this picture last fall.

Like I said I just move and have no time for my fish tanks so they need some attention but here is a few pics of there fist batch of eggs 2 days before hatching about 50 left.

Nest #2 6/10/09

The second nest is much lager. I have been feeding more, when they had there fist nest I was only feeding 5 or so times a week. Now I try to feed them 2 time a day but miss the 2ND feeding some days. I am feeding a mix of spectrum pellets, rods, and one a week some mysis when I feed my LPS corals.
