Title: Clown fish eggs
Post by: Nitro717 on May 15, 2019, 20:10:13
Noticed today they laid eggs. What's the odds on they actually hatching?

Congtrats! Waiting on one of my pair to finally mate. Any other fish in there? You will have to remove the fry as they hatch.

Check out Robert Kings Clownfish on Facebook, he has a million videos of clown breeding info.

There's a very good chance that they will hatch in about 8 to 10 days. Usually right after the lights go out.

 watch the eggs as they mature. You should be able to see eyes in them right before they hatch. My Black Snowflake clowns spawn repeatedly and the eggs hatch but they just feed the tank.

I figured it would be pretty difficult for any of them to survive in the tank with all the movement. But having them help feed the tank is nice.

Yes, depending on what type corals and fish you have, they will love it. I have a breeding pair of clowns, 2 or 3 pairs of damsels and a pair of shrimp. All of it goes to feed the tank.

Got a little video of them today. About 2 weeks after they hatch they lay eggs again.
