I have a pair of wyoming clowns that are spawning. I have raised white and blacks ocellaris as well as ocellaris. Nevertheless these larvae are very small and died after just five days. Does somebody have any idea of hoe these are raised?
 
Lucky you. Are you 100% sure they are ocellaris and not platinums?

If they are like most other clownfish I would add a lot of fresh seafood to the parents diet to make sure the eggs have everything they need. I use lots of squid and shrimp until they have large healthy batches then I lower the amount of squid.

Just keep your rotifer counts up and water clean and they will grow very fast.

Please post pictures!!
 
Yesterday I tried but I don't know how. I may post it at my Facebook account. I am from Puerto Rico and the clowns are from C quest, so I think they are true Wyoming. I have 30 pairs of black and white ocellaris as well.

I already posted two photos of wyoming pair with eggs in Facebook. I added a photo from my aquarium. My name is Luis F Sotomayor. Yo may enter and see the photos
 
Nice, and Good Luck to you. I failed at my 1st attempt hatch my Picasso Pair. I could not get to day 6, I am thinking it was not enough rotifers to feed.

I hoping to see your babies sold in the states again fairly soon. I will be looking for these whities.
 
Mitch at Booyah's reef has some too from what I hear. You may contact him and see what his thoughts are on it. He breeds a lot of clowns and has a lot of knowledge.
 
I wouldn't feed as much shrimp. General consensus is that certain types make the egg membrane thicker/harder making the fry work harder to get out, expending more energy from the beginning which could contribute higher mortality.
 
The only time I remember it being mentioned was when MarinaP recommended to avoid feeding too much shrimp in the breeder's forum several years ago due to potential for egg-binding. At the time I was feeding a lot of table shrimp to my broodstock clowns. I never saw any problems from it and still have all the same pairs going strong. I think it's a good food and may actually help the eggs adhere to the substrate (just an observation). I've continued using shrimp as part of the broodstock diets and never had problems with egg-binding or hatching/post hatch mortality that I know of. I'd be interested in more information about it too though :)
