Reply With Quotecongrats. now pass out 100-150 cigars.
well, after months of working on getting a viable clutch of eggs from my clowns, and raising the eggs from friends eggs...
i finally have my own clown babies, from my own clown..
survival rate has been GREAT.
about 10 eggs didnt hatch, and about 5 babies have died in the last 3-4 days (which is a great survival rate)
so i thought i would share some pics of my new babies (cant count yet, but my guess is about 100-150 larvae)
i did the best i could, but there small (even though they are twice the size from when they hatched..)

they lay the eggs on a ceramic tile i have in there, then i transport that to the hatching tank
you actually "cant" remove the eggs from what they were laid on, or they will not hatch
hatch time depend son the species, but mine take 9 days

how did you get them to lay on the tile??
****
|*****\\ARRRRRR//*****|
if placed in the right positions, they will almost always choose the tile over a rock since the surface is better than rocks...
for me, i just placed two tiles in the two likely places they would spawn, and crossed my fingers
i will see if i can get a pic tmw of it
