I'm a Daddy!!!!

[eclipse_001]

For the first time in over 6 months of spawning I finally was able to find the eggs my tomato clowns laid ( last night ) and tonight they hatched! at the moment i have about 40 baby clowns and still more eggs to go. I have the larvae in a 2.5 gal tank with the sides completely blocked out, a small heater,instant ammonia gauge and an air line pumping out about 3-5 bubbles a sec. they are being fed l-type rotifers and will be for the next five to seven days at which time i will start adding freshly hatched brine. that about it for now I will keep an update. I'm going to see if any more have hatched now and if not its off to bed until the morning
