Yellow tail damsel laying eggs?

[Steelerfan747]

So were you able to get any success stories out of the batch?

if your gonna raise them i recommend the rotifers

Live Foods for Feeding Aquarium Fish, Inverts & Corals: AlgaGen Rotifers, Brachionus plicatilis

250-300 microns so i think thats a good size

Thank you very much for saying this!!! I agree 100%! Everyting I put in my tank is there because I wanted it. I also just sit and watch my tank and everything in it. I hope you are able to hatch and raise some soon. I will follow along and I wish you luck!!

everyone says not worth it,
but i feel anything we can captive breed is worth it.
Tell you what pop tyree's or some other stupid off the wall name in front of them and now their worth 50 times the amount of any other damsel.

Paramecium These are used to feed the fry of damsels. Just google it and you can find where to buy the cultures to get you started. Hope this helps!

How long after hatch do they tend to lay?

Once Ive noticed the eggs gone its usually the next day or day after. Eggs are usually there for about 6 to 7 days.

Unfortantly Ive not been able to even see them hatch to try and catch any . Anyone know of a way to catch them if your not there when they hatch. or to remove the eggs from the glass to a different tank?

I might me crazy, but i was looking at my tank with a flashlight tonight and found what I think may be small fry living in with my pods in a patch of alage i let live for them to hide in. I look at the pods from time to time at night and this is the first time ive ever saw anything that looked like this. They didnt look to have legs and were pretty good swimmers and one was pretty good sizwd and looked like a tiny fish before it darted off into the lr. Any ideas? can they be living on d'something in the tank?

Anything is possible. That is just crazy cool!!!

So last night i had some how unpluggged my moon lights whiledoing maintaince. When I pluged it back in I had fry swimming everywhere. pics to come later today

This is such an awesome thread. Im glad you kept to it despite everyone telling you "its too expensive". We need to continue to raise fish from somewhere besides the ocean!

Very cool!! How many batches have you had?? Crazy how many times they lay eggs for you. Hope some of the fry make it for ya. Question for the fry raisers: is it possible to use a ball of chaeto to try to house the fry in a DT?

They have laid every week but 2 sense ive noticed them laying. The other night is the first ive seen hatched out. I didnt have any rotifers to try and raise them and the few i caught died by the next day. I may try to raise some sometime just for the fun of it
