Hi everyone.
I've been lurking around the boards for a while, and I've finally got something worth posting about...
Last night, my father noticed that the smaller of the two clowns in one of the 58 gallon tanks cleared off a space on the bottom of the tank next to a large shell. When I got home this afternoon, I noticed that there were a couple hundred eggs inside the shell. Though both clown fish were nearby, they allowed me to take a peek before swimming back over to hover within the shell. They share the tank with a hippo tang and a foxface as well as many invertebrates.
My questions to you guys are... is there anything I should do in particular for them? Should I just assume that someone's going to eat the eggs, or is there actually the possibility that I could see baby clowns at some point? If the latter is at all reasonable, around how long do the eggs take to, for lack of a better word, hatch?
I did do a search for anything relating to eggs, and mostly came up with shark egg posts. So, I'd appreciate any responses.
Thanks.
