Hi all;

The story:

While I was cleaning my tank yesterday, I found eggs on the stalk of the frogspawn which is already black rather than orange, thus I cannot predict when it is going to hatch. i also cannot tell which batch is it now since I away most of the time.

So I may need help:

1. Live rotifier (Near Toa Payoh, hopefully can pick up after 11pm tonight, as I have a wedding dinner to attend), sooorry how long can I keep the live rotifier... :(

2. I cannot see eyes but eggs are blackish rather than orange.

3. I will need to house in a beta, but will they escape from there? Other wise I house in QT but temperature is 30deg...

Thanks all.

Huh.... thought u already the God Dad of the babies... :lol: So far, never seen my nemo lay eggs yet. Only my chromis lay numerous times of eggs, but never got to hatch them and later became food for other fishes and shrimps :fear:

U sure got many many trips to go. Maybe gotto remind ur wife to dose the rotifiers small amount at a time lor. And hope tat ur skimmer able to deal with the extra dosing during these period :huh:

How can I help u, my friend ? can sms me or call me regarding it :D

Thanks for all the corcern.

Disaster happens when the baby hatch...

The were born I think 1 am. After some 3 nights of empty waiting till 3am, I dose off while waiting for that 1hr after lights off, with all equip setup. Woke up at 5am, swear at myself, gather torch and find no fries anywhere and eggs gone...

Feeling sad, I waited for a while more, then I saw some fries gather near the lights. After some 1 hr of gathering, I get only less than 20...

Til now, I have only 9 left. Only can hope the rotifer prep are good enuf. Thanks to Bro Bawater, super nice reefer, highly recommended.

Still have some 10 eggs gona born tonight, hope I dun fall asleep again.

Also the new born has brought some good luck to my family. The proud owner's (me lah) ic number struck first first!!!! On the same day they were born. Too bad I a non-believer of 4-D. Lucky my parents made a small fortune. I think can afford some good grade prawn for them :D
