Here is a pic of the last fish from the 10/26 clutch. As you can see these guys are already very dark. The rear of them is already almost totally black.

Im going to need to submit a whole new set of reports on these guys if they spawn again. This guy settled and everything but I never submitted any of the required reports. All I can do is feed feed feed.

You keep referring to a single fish or just two of them, "The other guy is behind the pipe...only two left from the first clutch." but your pic shows a bunch of juvies. Same as "Here is a pic of the last fish from the 10/26 clutch", but I see three fish in there. On another note, do you know where your fish came from? (like wild, ORA, SA, etc) They are much more black than most that I see.

Im not sure on the chronology of the pics as this was almost a year ago and I stopped tracking the fish for some reason (school + work i think...). I need them to spawn again so I can get a full report and get my little badge. As far as the type, I have no idea. They are 95% black at 90DPH. The fish in the pic is ~ 60-70DPH.

....and they are off... I'd say around 350-450 eggs. Last clutch is 5 days old right now.

Pic of an 8-10 hour old larvae. They sit at the bottom of the tank for the first 12-24 hours with little movement here and there but until the sack gets smaller they really cant move much.

Hey Adam, I notice you are using sand in your clown tanks, does the sand hold the angled tile up or are you using a heater suction cup? Good job on the babies, they look good!

Both. In the tanks that have a very fine layer (.25"-.5") I use a suction cup. In some of the other tanks that I have a ~1"-1.5" layer I use the sand to hold the tiles and it does a good job. The sand is Caribsea Reef grade (course). Thanks for the kind words everyone.
