My Occeleris laid eggs!

Just wanted to tell someone, my band friends really could care less LOL! I am not to coffident we will have a survival of any of them but it is cool, they laid them on the back tank wall up by the top. Maybe with a lot of luck some will fall into the live rock and make it. Anyhow I just love it when this stuff happens. Cheers!

Very cool, if you are serious about trying to rear a couple then in 7 days you need to do a couple things. About 2 hours after the lights go out the eggs will hatch. They are drawn to light (I assume this is so that the hatchlings swim up into the plankton stream, the moonlight probably is the key) so a flashlight and cup would be a good idea.

Thats so cool to watch, make sure you watch them develop (the eggs). They'll just become fish/coral food unless you take painstaking measures to raise them. My experience is once the lay eggs, they can do it really frequently and its always fun to watch!

Mine are regular egg layers but I've never seen any babies actually be born. The eggs become food pretty quickly.

If you want to get more info on possibly getting a clutch to survive(not sure that is what you call a batch of fish eggs) contact "olin" in Tucson. He has reared clown fish successfully.

Thanks for all the ideas. I hope this means it will be a regular happening because I may look into trying to pull it off to see if I can. Anthony I am in a local band 68 Guns, www.68guns.net.
Cheers!
