    So I have a clear overflow box and while i was looking around today I saw something in the box...first thought it was just some pods...but upon closer exam I am not sure...they look more like fry...two eyes are clearly seen and appears to have a tail and can't tell if there are any fins as they are about 1/8" or less. I bet there are 100 of them on both sides of the box...also just had a chiton explosion....found like 30 babies hiding under the return output in the DT

    I wish I had a clear macro but no go on pics....I tried.....

    Strange thing is the only "pairs" I have are 2 grenn chromos that have been there since day one and then 2 firefish that were cool then for about 2 months they fought now there back together....so if it is fry i would say it is the firefish

    I use frozen Prime Reef and that has particles in the afluent...wonder if that is keeping them alive?

    That would be pretty cool to get some firefish babies. Keep doing what you are doing. Your tank is obviously doing well.
