moi precious babies gone (RIP )

21 Jul: eggs finally hatched. transfer 10++ baby clowns to hatchery container (locate in main tank)

22 Jul: morning found all babies gone except 1.

23 Jul: last survivng baby gone too...

i guess they must have become supper/ breakfast for other tank mates. i'll need to setup seperate tank to decrease the mortality rate

Just wait for the 7-8 day and the egg will hatch within 2 hrs after all lights off.

Use a bowl to scoop up the larva and transfer it to the breeding tank.

Remember to turn off all pumps and powerheads during the lights off period to prevent the larva from being suck into it.

Sad to say this. I am a total failure on these. My 7th batch only got one still alive and kicking. It have been a week. And this is the only time my larva manage to live that long. All my larva is usually dead due to transfer from main tank to breeding tank.

After reading on the clownfish book, I decided to insert two piece of tiles near the clownfish hoping that they will lay their eggs on it so that I can easily transfer it to the breeding tank (Transfering the rock never work fine)
