what to do with Clown eggs?

[Rainer Feyer]

Well,

my clown pair has again eaten a whole region of hairy mushrooms to make room for their eggs; dozens of pink eggs are in a 2x2 inch area of hidden rock.

This time I am thinking: isn't there some way of taking the eggs, protect them and rear them?

do any of you have any experience?

Rainer,

I believe Linda has been seriously looking into this and even trying to cultavate her own rotifier cultures to make it happen..

I'm sure she will chime in

Rainer,

Read the Joyce Wilkerson book - Clownfishes. She goes through the whole process step by step. It is fascinating. Mine keep laying - but I just have not been in a position to give it a go yet.

I have it and will be in town this weekend if you want to borrow it.

This guy has two awesome tanks and a specially built room for about 15 large tropical birds in beautiful individual cages, rabbits, dogs, lizards ... Amazing

Wow!

I don't think I want that many Thanks for the link - awesome shots!

I have been reading about rearing them, and, I have to agree with Bebo - much more work than I am willing to do! I was going to simply place some of the eggs into my fuge, but, I am sure the Hermits I have in there will love to eat them, not to mention worms, etc.

Oh well, they do look kinda pretty! In the end, they will be great fish food!

I have been taking the 'coral/fish' food option for a couple years now. I agree - a little more work than I really want to do right now.
