Tomato Clowns Laid Eggs

My tomato clowns finally laid eggs...here are a couple of pictures from my phone:

very cool! You going to try to raise them?

I will probably not try to raise this clutch but I definitely want to read up on it and give the next clutch a try. Definitely wasn't prepared for this to happen

Now that they've started, they will give you plenty of opportunity to try once you get ready

Silver eyes, they should hatch probably pretty soon

Any updates?

What size tank are they in? Tankmates? Nems?

Any updates on them?

Sorry about the lack of updates on this...the eggs did hatch but not before I could get them out of the tank and I think they were eaten. I have since had two more clutches but have not yet been able to get to them when they hatch to retrieve them.

I have placed a piece of terra cotta pottery in there and hope they will lay the next batch on it so it can be removed. I am purchasing the phyto and rotifers to begin growing soon and have been doing a lot of reading up on rearing them.
