Adam delivered his 2nd batch of fry this morning. I had expected them to arrive today as this is the 19th day since I saw the eggs hanging out of his pouch. The big event took place a little before 9 am. I included the link to a short video that I hope you can view.

It was cool to witness but I didn't count and I just let this batch get filtered out. On the local reef club I published that folks could have them for free but no one was ready just now to try it. I need a break from fry rearing and I am still caring for the 15 juveniles I have. It made me sad as they looked really strong and healthy but I know what my limits are.

Yea, I imagine I'll get to that point one day too. My small male had a batch today, I haven't counted yet, but it doesn't look like as many as my large male had a couple of weeks ago. I haven't had the best luck yet, so I'll keep trying until I'm more successful. I only have a few left from that large batch. I'm gonna try more flow with the bubbles this time to keep them from floating on top and sticking to the surface tension

Do you have the lighting at the bottom of the jar? They will gravitate toward the light.
