Congrats! How did u do it? Did you have to remove the egss to another tank? Or Did you remove the parents? Did other fish try to eat them? Just wondering...

I have found the secret is pristine water conditions for one thing and a balance between too much food and not enough. I removed the eggs to a nursery tank the afternoon before they were due to hatch. The parents have their own tank so they aren't in danger of being eaten:)

I will try to get some pics today,,,,they are still quite tiny so I think I will need a magnifying glass... even at this size the white stripes are easy to see and they are now swimming in the classic clownfish manner. It may just be me but I think they are the cutest little things!

That's terrific! Congratulations!

They are the cutest!
The other hard thing about taking pics is the wriggle around just like the adults.
You will take 50 pics to get one good one.
Good luck!

not quite sure how to get the pic on here but I will figure it out.

Did you make your own rotifers and all that like some of the other clown baby threads?
