Let the party begin!

Triggerjay · 06-21-2008, 04:35 PM

Are you going to paint all the sides and bottom on your new nursery tank, or just cover them up?

That looks like a lot more eggs than last time. Hopefully the dad won't eat them. Good luck!

plecosword · 06-21-2008, 04:42 PM

wow good luck! this is my favorite thing about this hobby!

Woodstock · 06-21-2008, 04:50 PM

Whohoo! I'm excited!

I should be home from Florida by next Saturday and will put the eggs in the 'nursery' then.
Yep, there are more eggs this time than last

No, I am just going to cover the sides and top... no painting.

plecosword · 06-21-2008, 05:36 PM

is'nt the Painting the bottom balck for the parents not to see the babies? I thought clownfish protected their kids.

Triggerjay · 06-21-2008, 05:54 PM

Painting, or covering the bottom is to give the little buggers orientation of which way is up.

Most of the books say to cover the sides of the nursery with black and use white under the bottom of the tank so cleaning is easier.
The side black coverings can be removed several weeks later.

Yippie!
Let us know when it is time to boil water and get towels.
Have a safe trip. If you need anything while you are here, just let me know.
