Clarkii clowns

[Surfzone]

I thought that I would document this go with my Clarkiis. These eggs where layed on Saturday evening. I've had this pair for about a year now and have only raised a few spawns from them, but this time y'all get to go for the ride. I bought the parents unpaired but mature adults labeled Pearl Eye Clarkiis. I expect the hatch come Monday or Tuesday.

I’ll follow along! Me and my wife raised a few clutches of percussion/ocellaris many years ago. It was fun.

I collected the other half of the larvae last night. I have about 150 larvae swimming in their 10 gallon tank.

You just blew my mind... I have never EVER seen black leopard clowns. I googled them and I am in love. (I fall in love everytime i see an animal) lol

Black leopards are nice fish. Wish I could find some to breed. However at the moment I have no more room for broodstock.

How's the larvae doing so far any die off or they maintaining?

 

[Surfzone]

I had 100 % die off. Looks like another nest is coming soon so I'll keep y'all posted

 

[Surfzone]

That isn't normal for me. The only thing I can guess went wrong is that it was a new tank freshly painted.
