My percs layed eggs in my 140 Reef. What should I do? Aren't the fish going to be eaten? What is this process? How long? What should I expect?
Thanks
The question is way too broad.. If you would like to attempt raising some fry, I would recommend "Clownfishes" by Joice Wilkerson. The fry will not survive in your main tank. Raising them can be fun, but its not all that easy.
Egg jestation is usually 7-9 days (depending on temp and species). Once they start spawning, they will usually continue to spawn every 12-18 days, so it will leave plenty of opportunities. I recommend not worrying about trying to raise the few first hatches.. Take the time to note the gestation period. Take the time to read the book (at least the last few chapters) and take the time to get your food cultures going..
Good Luck
