Clutch Number 2

The clownfish laid again! We were hoping to get a video of it this time, but they laid while we were at Walmart! Maybe next time! I did get to see the little tubes they have to deposit eggs and sperm. They stay inside their body until its time. The girl part was out before and after our errands, and the boy part when we got home. Probably gross to you, but pretty neat for me! We have the majority of the supplies we need now. Hopefully we will have the rest by the 23rd, which is when I think they will hatch. We will keep you updated!

hatched!

The clown fish eggs hatched last night sometime after 1230. I checked about every half hour from 900 until I went to bed. Never saw any hatching, but they were all gone this morning! It makes me wonder if the adults know they hatch, or if when the lights come on they are like oh no they're gone!

We still have to get all of the stuff set up, and figure out where we are going to do it. We will have to have like 5 tanks, and the only place I think we have room is in the loft, but that will be in the way when guests come.

Hopefully they will lay again this Wednesday!

Egg Update

The clownfish eggs are coming along nicely.  They should be hatching Saturday night.  I tried to take a picture, but the camera won't zoom in enough to be able to see them.  The eggs go from bright orange to salmon pink to grayish pink to grayish silver.  I couldn't get a picture after they were not bright orange anymore.  Today they are in the grayish silver stage.  The silver is the reflection off of their eyes.  Since I couldn't get a picture of it, I found a few on the internet just so you can see how cool it looks.
