BBReefer Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 www.breedclownfish.com I will be back at my tank in about an hour or so. I will see if the eggs have hatched or not... Chris was interested but I have not received a text or call from him this afternoon. Theresa, you are welcome to come collect some when it is time. Send me a pm with your phone #.

(Bio)³ Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 really sorry, I got caught up with the BRS group buy that arrive earlier. Still scrambling in hopes I can get everything perfect before they hatch. Crosssing my fingers the dont go until tomorrow night since that looks like when I'll have everything perfect for them. I you catch them and need any rotifers or anything just pm me and I'll run out and meet you. I dont have a sponge filter on yet, getting it tomorrow and I should have a good setup ready.

BBReefer Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Chris... we will talk tomorrow about getting together to hopefully collect some fry.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 You all should have plenty of opportunities to raise some fry! I've got a female Percula that's been going strong for over 15 years. Only time she took off was about a 8 - 10 months when she had to get her 2nd husband up to speed. You can tell by the eyes when the eggs are getting ready to hatch. The day before a few of the embrios will have silver eyespots, all will have eyespots the day they hatch and that evening after the lights turn off out they start popping out.

ClarkiiCircus Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Ultimate key to getting fry is making sure you turn off your pumps/system completely! haha. And have extra water to replace what you take from the tank when collecting. Wish we could've gotten in on this but I (Emily) am moving this week, and the hardest thing in the world to move is 500 larval clownfish Goodluck Chris! Shoot us a PM or text if you need pointers!
