So far I lost one and it was in the trascision (wrong spelling :) of coming out of the egg. The male dropped the egg and I guess it didn't hatch. But other than that, I haven't lost any more. I just counted today and I have exactly 46 babies!!!! I'm buying a comercial holding unit to hold them...

dont do it! theres grease, oils, and stuff that can damage your water!

thank you sooo much! Do you know how long approx. will it take for them to be a descent size? Maybe size of a dime?

Bang Guy, How do I even get them to eat dead food? It seems like they come, taste it and then spit it back out! Or sometimes they just ignore it! Any suggestions? Is this garlic thing any help?

Ok, I should of explain a little better. The reason that I had them in the net was because I had another fish that I was trying to catch from my tank. I cought it and I released the "pair" into the tank.

I wouldn't risk it. I surely have seen anemones do well under MH. I think the light is not strong enough. Just my opinion.

False percula or ocellaris clown.

By the way, they are in the bag because I'm putting them in my 75. So, while acclimating them, I took a pic.

Hello everyone! I just bought two tomato clowns and I put them together in a breeding net. They have been there for two days. I just noticed that the larger one was trying to bite the little one and I did see that both of his fins are a little broken. So, will they get along eventually? or will...

I've had different ones together and never had a problem. Just my experience.

yup, Mine killed a plate coral!!! Errrr.

He will Hold the eggs/babies for a few weeks. I'm pretty sure that when you come back he will still have them in its mouth. Mine kept them in his mouth for almost three weeks! Hopefully, yours will do the same. I dont think that the refuge thing is a good idea. But its just my opinion.

Thank you FMarini. Those are some surely kind words! I appreciate all your info!

I need more info. Size tank? Live rock? Live sand? Longevity of the tank? Any fish in there yet? I have done reeftanks where as soon as my tank is cicled, I've put softies in it. However, it is best if you wait at least 6 months. And it truly depends on your set up. Good luck!

This is my brine shrimp hatchery!!! LOL Right on the kitchen counter! Luckly my wife likes the baby fish so she hasn't said anything YET!!! Every day I have to put a fresh pot of coffee ( I meant Brine) so I have freshly newly hatched brine to feed these littke creatures! THIS IS MAD...

Ha!!! You got it!!! YOur male has eggs in his mouth! Look at my thread ii this forum. You'll see the whole process that I've gone thru! Now you will go thru the same! Try to save the babies since they are on the endangered list. It would be cool if you can help the species by producing some...

Wow!!! Great info! Thanks FMarini! At the moment I'm feeding brine and now that I know that I can feed the baby brine phytoplankton, I will start. I was just feeding newly hatched baby brine not older than 24 hours. (for the yolk sac) I bought phyto feast from my local fish store, is that ok to...
