Our Spotcinctus clowns have spawned and we have eggs. The eggs are about a week old and while I thought for sure the tank mates would have decimated them by now, the clowns have been vigilant enough to keep them safe.

Sadly now they have eyes and I am sure will hatch any day, only to be consumed by their parents or fellow tank inhabitants.

Wish there was something I could do to save the little guys.

And a quick video.

Once the eyes turn silver (8-10 days) they will hatch when lights go out . If you don't have rotifers and phitoplanton ready too go they wont last long .(Hours). you can catch them using a flash light in the corner but all pumps and water movement has to stop for hatching and collecting larve .
