    I just checked my tank after work and noticed a bunch of clear little fish (they look like freshwater guppies to me) swimming in and around a rock. I only have two clowns and a goby in the tank, and if the clowns laid eggs then I missed it.

    If they are baby clowns any suggestions, there is no way of getting them out of the tank, I have very porous Marco rock which they are in and out of.

    Should I try to feed them.

    Help!

    I'm not sure about "guppies", known as fry in the SW world, but when they are eggs, they will follow light. At night you could try to shine a flashlight into the top of the tank to get them to go into a small Tupperware container so they don't get eaten(then set up a 10g tank for them)...that is if you know they are fish.
