Still no rotifers though, rearing phytoplankton & baby brineshrimp. Here is a mobile video of the brine shrimp hatch at 24hrs

Survival rate so far looks good, I think it was because of the availability of the very freshly hatched brine, which were very small. I am going to have a fresh batch of brine shrimp going everyday now, so hoping to have them on very small brine shrimp hatch for the first 4-5 days. Fingers crossed.
Sorry only one video allowed in one post.. so had to break it up into 3 posts.

This is the new bach. We are about 2 weeks in now, most have gone through the metamorphing stage and have become into proper clownfish with the white band developing behind the eye. A handful still remain though and I guess they should be doing it tonight...hoping they can pull through.

So... been off RS for a while.. actually pretty much tired of this hobby as absolutely no time, but everythings been going on auto and am not bothering with much, so what the heck.
Anyways its about an year into with these guys, so a quick update. Had a final count of about 15 adults, gave most of them off to friends and the 3 that remained with me are now in the main tank. Was really worried that the parents might attack them as they are much smaller, but surprisingly the parents don't bother with them. Their mum was a bit hesitant at first of the new clowns, lil bit of showing them their place but no aggression. They hang out on the other side of the tank, as the parents are still going strong laying eggs. None of the other fish have bothered them either, even while feeding. Well that's about it, hope they like their new home.
