SWEET! That is really cool! How old are the parents?

[Tim Marvin]

Are you going to try to do anything with them?

[scuba_steveo]

I want to but the question is how? My 215 is almost ready so I can put my tang and wrasse in there so they can not eat the eggs or babbies after they hatch but I still think they may be consumed by something else. Instar wanted eggs if they ever laid them but he has not replied. How long do I have till they hatch? I first saw them last friday. Anyone here ever raise them? I need to do some reading.

[Tim Marvin]

Instar would be the best for these directions.

[scuba_steveo]

Yes but where is he?????????????
I had his phone number but lost it. If anyone else has it please PM me.
I read that the eggs will hatch 8 days after being laid. So I have to get something set up this week.

If you don't already have it, Clownfishes by Joyce Wilkerson is a great source for information on rearing clowns. She goes through the entire process from egg-laying to metamorphosis and beyond, and I know of at least one person who has successfully raised clowns to adulthood using her methods.

[scuba_steveo]

Well tell them to give me a hand. lol.

[scuba_steveo]

Does anyone have some rotifers?

Steveo -

If you go to the forums at saltwaterfish.com, the member I'm talking about goes by the name Bang Guy (also breeds Banggais). He's very experienced from what I can tell, and is very ready to share any knowledge he's got. You might go create an ID there and ask some questions in the clownfish forum if you're still looking for info. It's a very laid-back casual forum, not like the "How dare you bother us with questions?" mentality at some other sites I won't mention :P

[scuba_steveo]

Thanks, I do know hin and I am a member there too. I have decided to set up a system to raise future fry.
