Moving Species eggs to hybrid parents - Thursday, May 28, 2015 9:31 PM

On May 18,2015 my SA Fancy Snow layed a large group of eggs. On May 26, half the eggs hatched and in the morning the other half in the clay pot was put into another hatchery.
Before moving the clay pot I had a pair of Yellow Stripped Maroons which layed a large group of eggs on May 25. When the other half group of eggs was removed the Fancy Snow went over to take care of the Maroon's eggs. Just before lights out I put the half group of eggs clay pot back in with the Fancy Snowflake.  By ten o'clock the half was all hatched out and collected. Next day removed empty pot. Fancy Snowflake taking care of maroon eggs. Today May 28 the SA Fancy layed a large group of eggs around the outside of the maroon eggs. Now taking care of both patches of eggs. Pictures to follow.

Sorry for not getting back. Breeding full time. The Maroon pair are in a large tank ,section off with four other pairs of clownfish. So on hatching night, instead off shutting the system down and with the large mass of eggs and the larvae being smaller, it is easier to get the other pair to take care of the eggs and just shut down the valve on that system, add heater and airline and get a better lot of babies. I finally have two very cute yellow stripped maroon babies.  Thanks Doug
