Max size of ocellaris hatch?

[David M]

I am very confused, I thought oc's laid typically small nests compared to othere clowns. I recently posted about 400 post met and there were losses along the way, the hatch was bigger than that. I have about the same number at 14 days too. Last night another hatch, it is easily 2X the last ones, got to be 1000 in there. Is this normal? How large can an ocellaris nest be?

this says that it could max at 10,000 -15,000

i opersonaly think 1000-1500 would be about the maximum, just dont think she could hold any more than that without exploding!!!

yeah thats what i said but if someone that actually saw 10000 to 15000 then i have to believe them but that must have been a HUGE mom

I read that aliens are behind britney spears being pregnant!!!


while some clowns can have huge nests, 1,500~2,000 seems more realistic for a largest nest size for ocellaris. though several will go well beyond that, i cant seem to recall anyone posting about 2000+ size nests, 1000ish was around my personal best.

The author of that article must have added a zero in there, largest nests I've ever heard of was 1400ish.
