    Well, today I wake up and glance over to my tank and see my clowns rubbing against some rocks. I didnt think they had ich...but I went to take a closer look. And what do I see? A little bunch of orange eggs! I know there isnt a good chance of them surviving unless i take some measures into my own hands...but...maybe next time I will put a clay piece into the tank for them to lay their eggs. Then I could move the babies into a safer area. Pics will come soon!

    You need to regulate temperature. Then feed rotifers. I dont think they'll make it if you have other predators waiting for a snack.

    Hmm. Maybe I can try to move them to a breeding tank after they hatch. I will put a light at the top of the tank and catch them then...hmmm.

    I wonder why he didn't lay them on the anemone? :p

    You know, there have been people in the hobby that have hatched them and raised them successfully in a reef. :tongue4:
