Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Metamorphosis and grow-out, Amphiprion ocellaris, Darwin

I picked out about a dozen early hatchers, and put them in a sterile 10 gallon static tank with a heater and airbar. They are fine without rots as they have a really big yolk sac. I am waiting for the rest to hatch, which should be tonight. Then I'll feed them like crazy.

The majority still have not hatched, but I have around 40 in the 10 gallon with rots and greenwater, heater, and bubbles.

Keeping them in greenwater and rots. Today I threw in some pods from the polyglot culture and a drop of povidone. I am trying to see if I can get some full barred blacks this time. In general, I've noticed that the black ocellaris larvae are more energetic than my orange ocellaris. These larvae are constantly cruising the tank.

It prevents fungus from attacking the eggs and killing them.
