I'm going to start reducing rotifer tomorrow and start adding baby brine very slowly late this week then move to crushed flakes over weekend first of next week I'm hoping they all make it though metamorphosis bye Friday sat also thinking about pulling last sheet of paper under light today and removing one side of tank that's blacked out start letting them have more light well I'm sure I will do one today and one tomorrow so I don't give them to much light at once

Are the senstive to light at this stage or earlier stage. Does it harm them?

From what I have read they are very sensitive to light the first few days if there going told bottom or swirling there to much light today at lunch I tried to remove last paper and they all started to head to the bottom so I put it back on and ended up leaving one side of the top open to give them more light going to work slowly at getting front pannel open so we can atleast watch them which is covered in black paper

Day 4 today at lunch noticed the back caudal fin and the side pectoral fin try to get picture tonight

Day 4 big day noticed fins and eyes look bigger also add very small amount of fresh hatched brineshrimp today they went crazy

Blazinreef · « **Reply #36 on:** March 05, 2014, 09:34:08 »

Any idea on how many are in there?

itsalifestyle · « **Reply #37 on:** March 05, 2014, 13:07:49 »

Think 20 to 25 but just counted 27 we have been counting every day they just move around so much its hard to get a firm number think it will be easy to count next few days one getting bigger and two should start to wiggle and stop darting

Day 5 didn't get a very good look but seem to be getting rounded body's

itsalifestyle · « **Reply #38 on:** March 05, 2014, 22:33:23 »

Day 5 tonight I didn't take any pics not much change I did remove the top paper and side paper and fed small ground up flake food a few ate other never went around it there staying in the corners

Day 6 not sure if you can tell by pics but there growing I can see them eat baby brine and there bellies are ornage from eating them I now have top off and one side off tank I did up my water changes to 3 cups twice a day and feeding twice a day rotifer can't keep up started new batch of brine eggs last night and new rotifer today

So truthfully is it a PITA??? My clowns laid eggs again today, I was going to try to raise fry but after the research I did it seemed like a PITA.

It's a lot of work but not horrible just takes time but I'm really enjoying it so I'll keep them for awhile but don't see it lasting over summer
