I didnt see any fish in his tank other then this pair. Here is a video of them before i took them home. They hatched and im 100%  sure they are not clownfish. Day 1 I asked him many times what he had in there and he told me he had a blenny(He collected it in Galveston, TX)  that was in there but he took it out a month ago. Here is a pic of the fish he sent to me. So i guess he caught a pregnant blenny and it laid those eggs?           <message edited by mike13oy on Monday, May 7, 2012 4:51 PM>   #1 mike13oy Total Posts : 83 Scores: 2 Reward points : 820 Joined: 7/10/2011 Location: Pearland, TX, US Status: offline MBI: 120 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:My mystery fry Monday, May 7, 2012 1:21 AM (permalink) 0 Day 8.   Today is day 14 and i still have around 50. <message edited by mike13oy on Monday, May 7, 2012 4:49 PM>   #2 CableGuy Total Posts : 591 Scores: 7 Reward points : 731 Joined: 8/26/2010 Location: Saint Clair Shores, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 635 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:My mystery fry Monday, May 7, 2012 7:23 AM (permalink) 0 Interesting! Very cool that the clowns were caring for the eggs! -Adam   #3 aomont Total Posts : 774 Scores: 0 Reward points : 1003 Joined: 2/12/2011 Location: Rio de Janeiro, RJ, BR Status: offline MBI: 5 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:My mystery fry Monday, May 7, 2012 10:33 AM (permalink) 0 If there was no other fish PAIR other than the clowns in that tank, I'd say clown eggs. Blennies are not internally fertilized so a pair would also be needed to have fertilized eggs. The weird thing is that by day 14 you should be able to recognize those larvae as clownfishes, I guess...

Im 100% sure they are not clownfish by looking at them now. I have reared hundred of clown so i know what a clown fry looks like. A pic under the scope my friend took at day 1.   <message edited by mike13oy on Monday, May 7, 2012 11:49 AM>   #5 aomont Total Posts : 774 Scores: 0 Reward points : 1003 Joined: 2/12/2011 Location: Rio de Janeiro, RJ, BR Status: offline MBI: 5 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:My mystery fry Monday, May 7, 2012 12:19 PM (permalink) 0 Agreed, really weird...

How long were the eggs in the pot? You said the blenny was removed a month ago so if the eggs showed up after that they can't possibly blenny eggs. Not to mention there was no one to fertilize them. The larvae don't look like clowns though. You sir, have a little mystery on your hands.

After they laid eggs, he removed them and told me there were clownfish eggs so i can buy the pair. When i got to his house for pick up, I  looked at the pot and knew they  were not clownfish eggs. I told him about it and even showed  a few picture of my clownfish eggs so he can compare. I went ahead and bought the pair but didnt pay for spawning pair price and he agreed to it. Took the flowerpot home on day 6 and they hatched the next night. I think he is not telling me the whole story.

I guess I was just naive or dumb. It resembles the nest of a starry blenny I saw online somewhere and probably other related blennies...

If i can raise them to settlement, I will give some free to everyone since i dont need them. I can always go to Galveston if i need some for myself. KatyL will be the first to get more then everyone else.   #16 KathyL Total Posts : 2639 Scores: 13 Reward points : 1504 Joined: 6/6/2010 Location: St. Louis, MO, US Status: offline MBI: 1605 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:My mystery fry Tuesday, May 8, 2012 7:32 PM (permalink) 0 Thanks Mike, and everyone else, please don't hate me.   #17 CableGuy Total Posts : 591 Scores: 7 Reward points : 731 Joined: 8/26/2010 Location: Saint Clair Shores, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 635 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:My mystery fry Tuesday, May 8, 2012 7:32 PM (permalink) 0 I'll take some as well if you have extras! -Adam   #18 mike13oy Total Posts : 83 Scores: 2 Reward points : 820 Joined: 7/10/2011 Location: Pearland, TX, US Status: offline MBI: 120 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:My mystery fry Thursday, May 10, 2012 11:25 PM (permalink) 0 Day 18 and they grew a lot.
