Need some help please

My bicolour blennies have layed eggs atleast 3 times now in the last 2 months or so and I would like to take the plunge and try to rear them. I have read alot about breeding other fish but I cant seem to find any info on breeding bicolour blennies on this site or any other.

They have been laying them in a koralia 1 that was shut off in my display tank so it can be easily removed to my other fish less 30 gal tank. But I cant really see any eyes on the eggs to know when to take them out. After about 2 weeks or so the eggs disapear and I am sure no one else is eating the eggs.

They are both wild caught and from what I have read there is no documentation of these fish being breed in captivity so any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated and I would be more than glad to make a log and share any info with everyone.

Thanks in advance for any help

Ps I am sorry for posting this breeding question in this forum but there doesnt seem to be much traffic in the breeding forum and I just want to be prepared for the next batch of eggs.

Thanks again

So I was watching tv and noticed that my clown fish which are in the same tanks as the blennies were eating at some particals is the water.
At further investigation I saw that they were what looked like larve. They had eyes and were swimming around. They all gathered at the top of my tank for some reason there were hundreds of them, so I scouped out a cup of the water and there were 50 or so in it and took it to the fish store and it was confirmed they were fish.

So I raced back home to skim them all out into a 10 gal tank and much to my displeasure they all dissappeared. Where could they have gone I dont think it was possible for them all to be eaten. Also what would make them come back up to the top again so I can grab them?

I also noticed both my blennies got alot more aggressive in the last 2 days.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

you sure it's not clown eggs? that sounds more credible in this situation.

Not clown fish, my clowns are 1" to 1.5" big and have not formed any noticable pairs or territories. And the eggs are layed and guarded by the blennies. those same eggs dissapeared and and the larve showed up. So I would have to say they are blenny larve.

One thing I didnt mention that my be a factor is that they are both wild caught from pakistan and can in on the same shipment.
