Ocillaris eggs help

[Bela N]

We have a pair of A. ocillaris clowns in our frag tank, they keep breeding & laying eggs, see pic. Unfortunately the eggs always disappear. I assume the yellow coris or 6 line wrasse in the tank eats the eggs. We are not trying to breed them, they just do. This is the 3rd or 4th batch of eggs they have lost. I feel sorry for them!

Are there clown breeders in the London Ontario area that would be interested in taking the eggs?? "They would be easy to transfer as they always lay on a piece of movable shale. I would try to raise them myself but lack of experience, time & live food are problematic.

Try putting this in the breeding forum. There are also a couple of marine-specific breeding sites out there you could offer these on. I'm not sure if we're allowed to post them or not, but a simple Google search should produce them easily enough.

They are likely becoming larval food for your tank after they hatch. Congrats on a healthy ecosystem!

Thanks, I realize it is anthropomorphic but I feel bad for mom & dad.
