So the clownfish are now 8 days old. I had a problem with my heater that's why I lost around 20-30 fish. Now are around 25-30 still alive. I have the problem that some of the clownfish are hanging on the glas like you can see in the video. Does anybody know why they are doing this?
I saw in someone's video they mention that the light was too bright and they tinted the water more with the rotifer food but it was like days 1-5. Not sure since its 8 days.
That's so cool.
Good to know clowns can survive for so long with brine shrimp. Fingers crossed they go all the way. I have brine shrimp eggs on hand, so would be cool if I can just use that for clown breeding. XD
Tim, I was wondering what temperature you kept your fry tank at and what heater you used. and also how'd you manage the ammonia? some people don't do water changes at all :/ and just use prime and stability. And other questions I have is what did you do to hatch the eggs when did you take them out and during that time when they were eggs, what temperature did you keep them at. I'm asking because I Want to replicate your process and I think it's possible that you kept them at a lower temperature which made them come out later but more developed resulting in their ability to eat bbs
it's hilarious how brine shrimp are marine invertebrates yet saltwater people have struggle hatching them in contrast to freshwater people. I feel like that's why they use rotifers along with the facte it's common practice to do so
So the fry hatched in the frag tank by the care of the parents. Two hours after the lights went out they hatched. I took a little cup to get them into the larvae tank. The temperature in my frag tank is around 26°C (~79°F). I use the water of the frag tank for the larvae tank for less stress of the larvae. I use an aquael 25w heater but I think it doesn't matter which heater u use.
