No not selling them, am just gonna give em off for free.
Apart from time, this cost me zilch.
And anyways the more fish given from our tanks, the less they catch from our oceans.
Clownfish eggs!!!!!!!

Exactly one month after hatching... the fry is about 6-7mm in size (guessing)..
Looks like a proper clownfish now & is always bobbing along for food.

Out of the 2, I have a lone survivor. Lost 2 batches in the middle. For some freaking reason, got 2 bad days in a day of each batch hatching, where the temp just dropped overnight by some 10*-15*c, which really caught me off guard, as had not anticipated the need of a heater. Anyways cannot do much about this global cooling!
Trying to convert the baby to go on a micro pellet diet, no luck so far. She is showing signs of nibbling on tiny frozen shrimp bits, but till then am hatching brine twice a week. New batch expected to hatch on the 6th of March. Will post a pic shortly, when am cleaning out the tank for the new batch.

Month 3 in...
Baby has accepted shrimp bits and also goes for occasional micro pellets.
However still keeping the live food going... much easier to dump a bit of live food and it is forgiving if u overfeed or miss a feeding....
water doesn't go bad with the live food and its always available.

Just read your thread mate, TOO COOL is all I can say, I love your perseverance as I could imagine your frustration...
A big GOOD ON YA MATE from me!!
I love how you have a survivor, it must feel good to at least hatch one and raise it from a fry to a fish!!
I hope one day I have a chance to experience what you have!!

Short but very SWEET little video!
I imagine you are very attached to the baby clown that you have raised.
Are you going to try to raise more babies, now that you know the work involved?

Diana once hatched, the work is just the first two weeks.
The important bit is tracking the progression of egg development and then timing everything else to that.. last few batches I have seen the hatch timing vary. So its not just dependent on when the lights go off aswell, cause at times they hatch in the early morning an hr or so just before sunrise.
Also some hatch early...
Well havent figured out much as yet. Hopefully more careful tracking should give us answers.
