B&W clowns

[themcnertney]

Hello. Seems as if I have some clownfish babies. Can someone confirm?

 

[ColdOceanReef]

Congratulations, you have new fish foods. Hihi. Just kidding. If you can find some local breeder.

 

[JasonK84]

Yup, you have eggs! Looks like they might hatch soon since they are very silvery in color. Probably within an hour or two of the lights going out.

 

[themcnertney]

Wow. Really.

 

[themcnertney]

This is a subject I know little about.

 

[ColdOceanReef]

Not easy though. You need rotifier to keep them alive. They will not survive if you don't have the right condition and food.

 

[JasonK84]

Wow. Really.

My clownfish pair haven’t started mating yet but my pair of Molly Miller blennies spawn constantly.
Don’t have room to experiment yet but plan to soon.

Here’s some fry that got caught between the glass and my acclimation box.

 

[themcnertney]

Didn’t last long.

 

[sabeypets]

They hatch around day 8 after they are laid.

 

[reef lover]

Still a few left there...

 

[themcnertney]

Still a few left there...

Unfortunately not any more. Fingers crossed they hatch again real soon

 

[ColdOceanReef]

They spawn every 10-12 days.

 

[themcnertney]

Welp appears they are at it again, right?

 

[reef lover]

Yup..

I have 220 gallon tank and a 75 gallon refigium. I cleaned the fuge section out which is quite large. There is nothing in this section. The eggs are currently in a large conch or snail shell. As the eggs get closer to hatching my plan is to move the shell to fuge section. I think this area is perfect for growing them out. I have ordered rotifers and plan to feed twice daily. This is a bit of an experiment so the success might not be that high if any. Updates will be coming.

Keep us posted, excited to follow along!

 

[sabeypets]

You will need a separate tank to raise them in.

Oh okay. Why is that?
