Clownfish Eggs - Day 7

[bang guy]

More and more eyes are becomming reflective. That's my que that they will be hatching soon. I'm guessing Thursday or Friday night. Once most of the eyes are reflective I will transfer the eggs to the fry tank.
My main batch of Rotifers is not attaining the density I want. I'm going to split the culture into two parts and feed one less and feed the other more to see if I can increase the density.

Good question. I will only be moving the rock with the eggs on it. The Parents will stay behind in the display tank. Once the eggs hatch I will put the rock back where it was.

Stupid request, but can you post a pic of the rotifers?
Looking good Bang!

It looks like you have one black and one regular Percula clownfish. I was thinking of getting one of each for my tank. Is it ok to get one of each if they are young? Will they get along?

 

[bang guy]

I think these are both regular Ocellaris Clownfish. One is just a dark color morph.

I suppose they could become --- addicts.

 

[bang guy]

Not that I am aware of. I wouldn't know how to stop them without seperating them and that would be stressful IMO.

cant wait till the hatch.

Thanks again. Seems like they are in a regular cycle. It will be interesting to see if it happens again in roughly the same time frame as the first and second batch.
Can't wait to hear about removing them. I wish you luck in advance
