Collecting clownfish fry

[ThePurple12]

I'm expecting a hatch tonight, but how do I go about collecting the clownfish fry? Turn off the flow and shine a flashlight in one spot?

unfortunately if you want to raise fry you have to set up and let the clowns lay eggs in a totally different tank.
No way to capture the fry they will become fish food

Are you sure? It would seem like I could catch most of the fry when they hatch if I wait around with a flashlight.

That's pretty cool. Looks simple enough.

Since it was too late to make the snagger Dw79 linked, I just stayed up until 1 a.m. with a flashlight. I caught about 20 fry. I could have gotten more, but I wanted to go to bed;Blackeye
