It Finally Happened!

Warnberg · 02-21-2007, 05:31 PM

I came home today and noticed my clowns have finally laid eggs. It's a small clutch maybe 30 or 40 eggs but they finally spawned.

Guess it's time to get geared up. Going to let the first set go and time the spawn so that I will be ready for spawn number two.

Congrats! So, your going to try and raise them next time around? Tell us about it... what's involved?

boozeman · 02-21-2007, 05:38 PM

cool

Warnberg · 02-21-2007, 05:41 PM

Well I first I want to time how long it takes before the eggs hatch, usually 5 to 8 days. During this time I will get my green water and rotifer's built up and prep the hatch tank. Then after the first hatch goes they usually spawn again fairly quickly, so I figure in about about 21 days I should be ready for the second hatch.

I have to refresh my reading and do some more asking around but hopefully I'll have a successful second hatch.
