Who Else Is Trying Captive Breeding and What Species?

Ok I bought bangaii's from Elegant Reef so hopefully I can get a clutch from these guys even if I miss the first batch and they overflow they will have tons of pods in the fuge or frag tank. I plan to try my luck with these and then try and progress to something harder like clowns...

Hi I'm Jill, I'm new to this forum. I breed percula clowns, I like my babies that have an oval instead of a second bar, some have an oval on the top, some in the middle.
I find cleaning the larva tank to be very difficult, I often have more than one run up my siphen hose then I spend the next 10 minutes trying to catch them. I feed them rotifers fed with my nano. oculata culture, after they eat about 2 hours I sieve them out and feed them to the larva. I did my last batch coculture of larva with greenwater and rotifers, they did well but what a pain to clean!
My banggai laid eggs Dec 23, I took them form the male the 28th and they have eyes in the egg tumbler and two hatched. 4 or 5 of the eggs were white, I seperated them out with a "delecate operation" and put them back in the tumbler. They are soooooooooooooooooooooo cute, I hope they make it. I don't know why they turn white, I don't know if it is a fungus I need to medicate or what. I wake up every day hopeful but with 15 alive, of which 2 are hatched today. I think they seem to be hatching too early. ANybody know? They are all egg sac now, but what, when and how to feed them I am researching. Any tips are appreciated. The clowns I do well, 90% success, sadly I'm not doing as well with the banggai.
