![]() Pretty exciting to discover some eggs while cleaning the glass just now!
The last time I had frys in the tank was 10 years ago when a pair of mollies were helping to cycle my first tank. I've got a week at research to see if I can get any to survive and not become more than just a treat for the tankmates. I've read other threads about how hard it can be, but it will be fun to experience it for myself. |

is a good resource. or Joyce Wilkinsons book on clownfish. More than likely, they will be a treat for the other fish. Put a clay pot or slate near where they spawned, and they may put the eggs there next time (within 14 days of last spawn) Rotifers are the key, without them, your chances are very low. any questions feel free to ask. |

![]() No luck with a clay pot, my clowns have always stayed in the upper corner of tank despite the numerous anemones.
They're still doing their dance and the protective behaviour has started. Very cool to watch. |

![]() Tangs hang been trying to get to the eggs all day. I was able to move a powerhead closer to physically prevent them from being able to reach them. Still a good cluster left, but I know there have been some casualties already.

![]() hopefully the rest last too. 7-8 days is a long fought battle
what type of nems you use, I find bta's work great. if anything put a small piece of slate in the corner for next time, and hang itfrom above or you can stay up on hatch day ans siphon them out around 2 hours after the lights go out. |
