What are you feeding your rotifers? What kind of clowns do you have?

when the eggs hatch how much water changes shall i do to the fry tank

[alanna]

Cool clip!
I'm not sure what you mean buy water change in the fry tank.
I use water from my main tank for my fry tank. I set it up 1-2 days before the hatch night and add more main tank water as I catch the fry in a cup to thier tank. After they are in the tank I think most people do a 20% water change daily. I don't I just do one in a week or so. For me its trial and error. I'm not so good at water changes I suck up alot of fry. You don't have to hatch brine shrimp until your fry are about 5 days old.

It depends on how many hatched fry you have .. my last batch only 12 survived so ,I only did two water changes in two weeks . If you are loaded and lucky enough to have 100-200 fry swimming around . Then every day I would be doing a water change ,except for the first two days of the Hatch . You have to judge what works for you . In my fry tank I usually start with 1.5 gals in the fry tank , and change one quart a day . after day 24 I fill it up to 2.5 gals and add a small sponge filter and small power filter ... I still have 18 baby clowns in the 2.5 gal and they have been there for over a month and half now with no problems .
