Mom's Turn

[bang guy]

Day 2 and Mom takes over guard duty for a while. Suprisingly she's not nearly as aggressive as dad.

And those eggs are just getting darker and darker.
I love how you can see the eyes when they are about to pop.

I think he went off after some food and mom just swooped in to watch over them for a few seconds.

You don't have another female in there do ya
Are they the only two fish in the tank? My pair went balls out for a few months and then just gave up. I think they got tired of seeing the little ones being eaten by their tank mates......oh yeah, and each other

 

[bang guy]

No, they're in the display tank with 18 other fish.

Bang, how long does it take from fertilized egg to fry?

 

[bang guy]

It has been 8 days for these. I think each Clown species is different and I also think temperature makes a difference.

Interesting. I love the series, keep it up. Let's see some pics of the fry tank with the juvies currently in there!

 

[reefcrazed]

Are you going to raise the fry??? It is not very difficult if you have some patience and a little extra room. I currently am raising 200 percula clowns that are now 6 months old.
