I wouldn't call my thread any kind of template for success. I had a few failed attempts in the begining and after many more hours of research, I felt I had most of the bugs worked out. That's when I decided to start this thread. Just keep trying until you find out what works for you.

Another spawn hatch tonight. Just posted for learning.
When the hatch is forthcoming quickly I just wanted to show how both parents get highly involved. Typically, at least with my pair the male (and he’s the best) it mostly the caretaker of the spawn. But on hatch night she gets highly active and very involved in that process. The hatch will be tonight and I’m sorry to say goes back to the reef. As I said in an earlier post I need that break so I don’t feel bad. Should I?
Need to ask you all watching the thread do you think it’s run it’s course? If so please let me know. Sport

I would let it run it's course. You gotta keep in your mine that you can't raise them all. I had a hard time at first thinking I would raise every single batch. I let my gold stripe pair go every week in favor of other clowns like my rods onyx.

Amazing clownfish behavior!
Ok I haven’t posted in a while but I found out something that is truly amazing. I was trying to induce my new pair to start spawning so I took the eggs from the DT breeding pair and put them in their flower pot and these two clowns are tending the eggs that I took out on Monday. I figured that they would eat the eggs being it wasn’t thier spawn but they are tending them. WOW! is all I have to say. What are your thoughts on this?
Sorry, for the poor video, batteries were low on the flash light but there is about 400 eggs on that slate, just a guess. They are tending them perfectly no fungus or anything on those eggs.

That is really interesting. I was thinking of trying this once when a pair stalled out, but was scared of the eggs being eaten. Really cool to see them tending the eggs. Who knows, perhaps it will encourage them as well.

How did you move the eggs?
Can they be exposed to air? |

I just took a small plastic bowl submersed it under water with one hand and then loosened the slate with the other put them in the bowl and carry it to the other tank. Then submersed it and put them in the pot.
I have heard that air for a short time does not hurt the eggs but way take that chance. It not that difficult to keep the under water.
