Is this what i think it is?.......STOKED!!!!

Clown fish eggs? How do i insure their survival?

 

It looks like it It takes quite a lot of work to take care of them. You need to move them to a piece of a tile and transfer that to a separate tank with an airstone. A filter would just suck them up. You need to feed them rotifers like 3 times a day and do a water change after every time. Then after that, you need to feed just hatched baby brine. Not sure after that, though

 

i have a spare 20 l tank iv cleaned, but my issue is that (of course) they laid the eggs on one my pillar rocks, if i remove it the whole aquascape goes down the tubes. it will also be a challenge to find live food for them here in switzerland.

i was thinking of fishing them out at some point, doable?

 

Well congratulations.

Raising the Fry is difficult and take practice.

This is where you want to start your research.

thank you

 

Congrats Swiss! As the article will show you, it's quite a task but not impossible to raise the fry. From my reading, now that they have laid eggs, they usually will continue to lay eggs on a pretty regular basis! yay for you grandpa!

 

its been 6 days now i guess hatching is a matter of couple days now, i set up a small 20 liger nursery tank filled with DT water at 26°c. im thinking of moving the entire rock just before they hatch but my concern is that the condy anemone is attached to the same rock.

will it pose a threat to the fry?

 

Indeed the anemone will be an issue. Don't tear apart your tank for this batch, the odds of them surviving is small at this point. I'm not sure about clowns, but the fish I've dealt with, the disruption of the tank may mess with the breeding pair. They will breed again if their world remains copesthetic. Prepare for that one and start putting tiles in the tank and getting food cultured for them. Do you have food ready for them?

aie well i bit the bullet and moved the rock, luckily the nem was half attached to a neighbouring rock so was able to slip it off her grip.

hope i havent freaked out the pair as you say. it did take them a long time before they finally started spawning.

in terms of feeding im hoping i will have some luck with frozen rotifers even if i realise the chances for success are slim. getting my hands on live rotifers here might be a challenge as mentioned before
