The stomachs look full. That's a great sign.
The next most critical point is during metamorphosis. Make sure the params are on point.

Also, if you are going to feed bbs remember that the older they are the less nutritious they are.

How long till they hit the meta?
Anything special during this time?
Any info will help:reading:
 
Depends on your temp...but mine start going through it around day 6 - 7.
From what I have learned on here is that your success depends on how clean your water is and if you fed a nutritious food in the beginning. Rotifer fed rgcomplete worked for me. If you are feeding your roti phyto, then you have to make sure o enrich the rotifers before feeding to the fry. Introducing TDO chroma boost to my batches increased my survival rate. I collected another batch and so far I only lost 5.
 
Did try on your 1st batch?

Did you try on your fist batch?
How many clown you got from it?
 
Then you are set.
You should be able to start picking out the plats/extremes after day 15. They are still too young to start seeing patterns.
The one that will show the plat/extreme traits are going to remain pale in color compared to the others that will have picasso or regular pattern which will start getting darker.

At least that is how it is working out for me.
 
Man this is cool my clowns lay eggs all the time but im never able to catch any when they hatch i always miss it :( sounds kike some work though to keep them going.
 
Lots of work

Man this is cool my clowns lay eggs all the time but im never able to catch any when they hatch i always miss it :( sounds kike some work though to keep them going.

There is some work specially on day 7-9 (all depends on your temperature)
To get them before they get suck in on the filter or any powerheads!!
The rest is up to them if they strong they will make I guess this is my first batch and it's been a new experience for me. I have LPS. SPS. Mix reef,
But I always wanted to try this.
if I can keep my bb clownfish alive it's going to hard to let them go:(

KEEP TRYING JUST REMEMBER TO BE IN FRON OF YOUR TANK ON DAY 7-9 with a little light and a cup to start collecting them. If they don't hatch with thin 2 1/2 hr after the lights go out there are not going to hatch that day, so be ready for you second night camping outside your tank for the 2nd time or 3th time:headwally:
