    Hello everyone, back with another tank update. After great success with help from everyone on the forums ;D my tank is doing extremely well. The other day I noticed my 2 damsels (one blue fin, one yellow) have found a cave where they have laid eggs which seem to have been there for some time as I can clearly see eyes on all the eggs. (will post pics shortly). It seems they have a good chance for survival being they lasted this long, my question is what should I do in terms of feeding (any other care) to help their odds of surviving.

    Thanks!

    You really need a breeding setup to raise them. They are hard to feed in the first stage and really need to be isolated from the Main tank.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Congratulations.

    Damsel fry are harder to successfully raise than Clownfish. Do some internet searches, while it's very cool, it does take a lot of practice and patience to raise the fry.
