So in one of my tanks I have a Phantom female clown and a domino male that are breeding. They are on their 3rd batch of eggs but...

What happens when these babies hatch? I've watched the eggs and see them when the eyes are noticeable with a flashlight. I know the babies are tiny, but what is happening to them?

Are the other fish (or the parents) eating them?

105g tank with 2 tangs, a regal angel, an anthias & 2 chromis.

They're likely becoming tang and angel food. Unless you have time and money to invest, and have a buyer for all the babies, raising clownfish isn't worth it in my opinion.

I already have a full time job & a 6 year old.... I don't need to add baby clowns to that! I kind of figured, but I thought I would maybe see 1 out of all of them that are hatching.
