Any Chance?

[nijunet]

Hi All,
I have had my clowns for awhile now and lately they have been acting really strange. Well, I got home yesterday and to my suprise eggs!!!

Anything I can do to try to keep them or are they just going to be dinner for the other tankmates?
Thanks,
Proud Grandmomma Nicole

Why not just get one of those fish holders from rstimeout and transfer the eggs there untill they grow older.

Very cool Nicole. Says a lot about your husbandry.

You'll see the female protect the nest. The male will spend an inordinate amount of time fanning the eggs, oxygenating them.

In order to raise them to adulthood, you'd have to set up another bare bones tank. An airstone, live rotifers and lots of time. Mine become a smorgasboard every 11 days :sad2:

I figured they would become dinner but, the two of them are working so hard
