Aren't they in the nano? Could they be fed enough in there (with the rotifers)?
You have 14d to figure it out, Rich. Watch for the eggs to go from orange to silver and then you should be able to see the eyes. Generally hatch about 2w from when they lay them down.
If you want to try raising them you have to block out the light from the sides of the tank!
they laid them on the back side of a piece of branch. I can just see the top couple of rows. Right now the anemone is laying on them. Don't know if that matters or not. I had a feeling something was going to happen because they were both picking at one spot on the rock all morning. I missed the female laying them but I believe I saw the male fertilizing them. He was rubbing all over them then eventually the female chased him away.
There is a MJ, and a BioWheel Power filter they'll have to deal with as far as equipment. The only critters are a chromis, bi-color psudo, and a yellow tail damsel. As well as a few hermits, snails, bristle worms, etc. Will the parents chow on them also?
But I think I'm gonna just worry about keeping the parent's happy and alive for now. Maybe later when I find thoes extra hours Matt mentioned I'll give rearing them a crack.
if you miss this time usually once they start laying its every couple weeks like clock work. I have tried raising them once back in, oh gosh ist was at least 10 or so years ago. Anyway it was back when i was on AOL, before cable so it was a long time ago. Did get to email back and forth with Joyce Wilkerson. Managed to raise only seven out of that first try. Never tried again though, took alot of time.
