I guess you could call this one the runt =) hes a little behind on the transformation compared to the others in his batch for some reason...






and they just laid another batch last night, but unfortunately on the rock and not on the tile

Good news =) all 3 batches are alive, and they laid on the tile again tonight...

Just have two 5 gallon buckets going and keeping the water green with nanno paste from brine shrimp direct, I don't do much with them just thin them out weekly and maybe clean their bucket once a month, also run a small bubbler in their as well... but with these tiny batches I'm getting I'm pretty much just having to add rotifers once at the begining and then they multiply faster than the clownfish eat them

Just a couple =) I wish I could keep them all alive... speaking of that, just had a whole batch hatch Friday night and 100% of them where dead with in a few hours.... so hopefully we do better than that on the next round
