Blackice spawn Hatching premature

[dendroman]

I have a pair of Black Ice Clowns that have spawned numerous times i curentlly have three batchs growing out i was going to try and raise another one or two but it seems like the day of the hatch they are hating out during the duration of the day i am wondering if the fish i have in there are bothering the parents, i have a coral beauty,a sixline ras, mandraingoby also pictilius does anyone with breeding experience have any sujestions

If you can get them to spawn on a tile or pot you can just take it out of the tank in the morning and that way if they hatch early, they will be hatching in the larval tank.

Are ALL of the eggs hatching early, or just some? If it's just some, then it probably isn't a big deal or worth any extra hassle, but if it's all of them then you may want to start tweaking things.

What are you feeding the parents? What is your light schedule?

Every thing is in check like i said i have already caught three hatchs that im raising now they are feed high quality food the fry are almost all hatching out during the day so when it comes night time there is not enough to try and catch i think the parents do a better job than we do when it comes to incubating the eggs

I like to leave the eggs with the parents too. If I expect my eggs to hatch on day 8 and some/most hatch on day 7, I leave a lamp on all night on the next day 7 which causes the eggs to wait for the next night to hatch.
