Re: Rearing Picasso Percula Clownfish!

Wow! That is a lot.
Wouldn't it be cool if they all made it. I know it is impossible but just think of all those baby clowns swimming around.
Hope you have great success. I am really looking forward to the pics and stories.

Re: Rearing Picasso Percula Clownfish!

I know it isn't possible, but if anybody could do it, Doni could.
I am sure they won't even all hatch and of course you lose lots along the way.
Good luck Doni.

Re: Rearing Picasso Percula Clownfish!

To be honest, I'd be thrilled with a 10% survival rate. That would be 74.2 fish
