Default Baby Clownfish

Hello all,
I hope it is warm, where ever you are.

darn near freeezing ok well 61F at 8pm close enought right

I came home from work this evening and found a "patch" of clownfish eggs
on the back glass for my tank.


congrats, i guess.

My tank is FO, with many larger fish -
French Angel, Cowfish, Chainlink moray, squirrel fish, Austrailian Hawk,
Yellow tang, and a few others. the tank is 180gal. Anyone had any success
raising babies in a "community" tank? I do not see a way to move them or
even section off the tank. The French is 10" and really needs the space. I
have thought of moving some live rock to sorta box the eggs in and protect
them but am concerned that the parents placed them where they did to provide
current.
Suggestions? Or should I just think of this little orange wriggling
mass as breakfast for the others.


where to begin, well breakfast it very much will be, there is just
about nothing you can do to raise these now, IF you want to raise the
next batch then you will need a collection of rotifers and other good
foods for babbies, they will also need to be in a seperate tank with
NO other fish even parents then you can raise the fry.

Thanks - Henry


sorry the news was not what it sounded like you wanted to hear

sounds like an awesome tank though
