Snowflake Clowns' First Spawn

There is an easier why ya no.

 

[Woogiekids]

Easier? Do tell!

OSI artificial rotifers for the first 3 to 5 days (feed 4 times a day )
Then cyclopez until they can eat flake food.
I have done this method many times with high survival rate.
Good luck

You are getting some awesome shots!!!! Some of the little guys still don't know which end is up though. LOL

 

[Woogiekids]

Seriously! Darn breech fishes! Just like my kids, lol. I moved the rock an inch closer to the glass earlier, so look for even more magnified pics in a few hours!

Are you ready for them? Rotifers, another tank, stay up & collect fry?

 

[Woogiekids]

Yep! All systems go.

 

[trueblackpercula]

Good luck

Day 8: Looks like a few hatched last night (which I missed), so on to tonight!

 

[TanyaT]

just beautiful!! So are the hatched babies swimming around? Sorry this is all new to me lol

eeep!
I keep refreshing for an update - what's happening?:fish2:

Alright, so bad news. They all hatched...straight into the maxi-minis. The ones that didn't feed the maxis ended up in the chromis bellies. I managed to rescue 3, and they're in the fry tank, but I obviously don't have high hopes...

So, strategy for next time...I'm putting a clay pot in tomorrow so that the clowns will lay on it (next lay will be Sunday). On hatch night, I will move them all into the fry tank.

Thanks for all the advice and good fry thoughts!

simply stunning shots. holy cow. if you dont have room for a pot, try different sizes of porcelain tiles and put it where they are laying the eggs. tiles are easier to remove and airate while waiting to hatch.
