    Greetings,

    I am really exited. I spotted a couple of really tiny fish which I believe to be fry clowns at the bottom of my tank hiding around the "foot" of my rose anemone. I never saw any eggs being laid, but I have always suspected my female clown of being pregnant. They have been there for almost a week now and I am hoping they will survive. Is there anything I can do to ensure their survival?

    Thanks,
    Anoush

    I think it would be challenging to keep them alive. Do you have a friend who cultures live rotifers? You might be able to feed those to the tank.

    Thanks inwall! How long can they go on without rotifiers? It has been a week since I first saw them! Also, isn't strange that I never saw any eggs?
