Orchid Dottyback breeding

[birddog486]

Well today was the second time my Orchid dottybacks have laid eggs:inlove:. I'm planning to try and raise some dottybacks eventually if they can get in a groove and care for the eggs until there full term.

I've had pretty good luck raising clowns so I'm hopefull I can give these guys a chance.

Anyone have knowledge on raising these guys. I've read the Marine breeders book and The orchid dottyback book by Martin Moe.

Skips book is the best all around one on the subject that I have seen, it also has his tomato juice recipe for feeding rots.

Their a lot harder to raise than clownfish. Inspect the eggs at day 4 & if you can see their eyes then move the eggs & you will need an egg tumbler. If they hatch feed them rotifers for 2+ weeks. Good luck.
