My clownfish have recently started spawning and the eggs hatch about 8 days in I get a few hundred but the majority of fry are tiny almost 4 times smaller than the big ones which if I’m lucky I get 10 but the rest are small fry. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem or has a solution to it it would be very helpful.
 
This is typical result. The big trick is having a place for the fry and live foods to keep them going. Of course you have to separate from the adults or the end up food.

I separate the adults But I watched a few videos and everybody seems to have larger fry mine are a bit bigger than copepods I can’t even see them in my fry tank

What type of clowns do you have? Maroons are typically half the size of ocellaris fry. They are so small, they cant even eat L-rotifers.
