| Other Information: |
Note, some fish hatched on the morning of 4/4/2013, but the BULK of the hatch was a day later, 4/5/2013, so that's the date I went with. Most recent hatch was a full 11 days post spawn....seems like a long incubation vs. other clownfish; could be due to lower broodstock temps. |
