I’ve had 2 oss clowns for roughly 2 years and I noticed about a week ago that they had laid eggs on the side of some liverock (first time). The eggs were small and blueish, the day after the eggs have turned orange, After doing some research I knew this was normal and I have been keeping an eye on them. it’s now day 8 and thier eyes are very silverish, Im assuming htey are going to hatch tonight so I am going to try the method suggested on the top of this page. I did’nt have enough time to order rotifers but I have a fresh batch of baby brine shrimp ready in the 10 Gal fry tank I have, Im hoping this will do until I can get some rotifers. How often should I change the fry tank water?,,any other help would be great too!..Thx

Moved my breeder pair into a new 150 two months ago and they just delivered me their first eggs today…5pm. one hour before their lights go out.

HI, MY PERCULA CLOWNFISH HAVE LAID 6 BATCHES OF EGGS SINCE NOV. 2010. MY PROBLEM IS THEY DEVELOPE INTO LITTLE FISH BUT THEY DO NOT HATCH AND BECOME FREE SWIMMING. DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR KNOW WHAT MIGHT BE WRONG?

I use a piece of pvc tube in the aquarium, and take off the egg on the sixth day after the spawn time. I use a knife to release the egg and put it in the aquarium or bucket that i use for rearing the fry. the egg will hatch 1 – 2 days after.

My anemones are growing on the live rocks, when the lights go out the anemones get smaller are they afraid, asleep, or dying?

my clown fish laid eggs on a fake rock, can i just put the fake rock in a bucket with water and a air pump? by the way my clown eggs are green with silver eyes does that mean they will hatch?

Egg eating is common in the first couple of batches that are laid. Be patient, the clownfish will get the hang of it.

My clowns (one black one orange) laid eggs. almost immediately after they began to eat them so i removed what was left of them to the hatch tank. what do you think are the chances they’ll hatch? and why did they eat them?
