seabass Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Home to one: Here he is: Rock in bucket: did papa clown get mad once the rock was removed?He really didn't seem that distressed about it. l have to agree l would not return the rock either but l generally advise against removing it in the first place pappa knows how to care for them best Yeah, just panicked. I was under the impression that they all hatched on the same day; so when I saw one, I figured the others should have come after waiting that much longer. I didn't want to shine the light directly on them, so I thought I saw a lot less eggs with no larvae. It was only after I had moved the rock that I noticed that most of the eggs were still there. I'm afraid that I messed up again this time too. But I'm still hoping that some of the others will still hatch. 10 Quote Link to comment

vlangel Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Seabass, when I raised my fry, I only kept 1-2" of water in the 5 gallon tank. IT is much easier to get the density of rotifer that the larvae need in a smaller amount of water. I vacumed the tank 4-5 Xs a day (usually after they had depleted some of the rotifer) and added new made salt water after each vacume. That way they were getting constant WCs too. 5 Quote Link to comment
nano_MC_reef Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 same thing happend to me a while back when i first started. And HOLY MOTHER OF GOD did it take a lot to keep those fry alive for the first 3 or 4 days let alone for the first 2 weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment
lkoechle Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hey hey hey, so I saw this movie one time about a clownfish and all of his clownfish eggs got eaten BUT ONE. Seriously, if ever a clownfish was ACTUALLY MEANT TO BE NAMED FOR THIS FILM, this is that clownfish. It will be the clownfish actually deserving of the name Nemo. So as cliche as it sounds, I totally think you should name the little dude Nemo. ESPECIALLY if he lives. Nemo, the fish who lived. (lets cross stories while we're at it) 8 Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 He's still swimming around.Vlangel, good tip on the water level!I'm shocked just how dirty the tank got in one day. I mean there is just one little guy in there. Hey hey hey, so I saw this movie one time about a clownfish and all of his clownfish eggs got eaten BUT ONE. 7 Quote Link to comment

Pjanssen Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Nothing new on the remaining clutch? Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Nothing yet. Sorry papa. But it was about this time yesterday that the one hatched, so I'm still looking/hoping. 3 Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 I was hoping that a few more would hatch, but I just checked the eggs. They didn't hatch and have turned white; all were lost. So it's just the one that made it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Christopher Marks Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 lone wolf? Now it has a name! How's Lone Wolf, seabass? 4 Quote Link to comment
Sharbuckle Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Name it!!!!! Its pretty much the real life nemo... Lone clownfish survivor... 3 Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 He does need a name. And being alone, you can't mistake him for someone else. Of course, if all goes well, he'll eventually become a she. I'm kind of thinking about Finley (aka the lone wolf, story of a real Nemo). 12 Quote Link to comment
