well yesterday i have this spawn

here the nest is the biggest nest with the tiniest eggs i have ever seen
 

Well today they hatched in the afternoon with ligths On !
They are very small fry 2 mm long but complete with mouth and eyes ( not prolarvae as dascyllus)
They are thousands i will try with rotifers and see what hapens

Well today there are no more fry
As i suspected they dont have yolk sac and they dont eat the l rotifers
So in think they starved
Lets wait for the next clutch ( i see the male chasing female )

Well another spawn today

They just hatch yesterday

Keep up the good work Efren!  Do you have copepods in culture to try feeding?

No i cant get them hére and the times o have tried to import they Came all dead
