Thank you again all. I took a couple pictures from day 17. Most have stripes now, and at night they sleep is separate groups of about 10-15 or so.
The pics are big but would be easier to see them.

Well I do have that medium sized clarkii all alone downstairs.... While I would love to have a grand-fish, I'm so afraid it will turn out like it's mother.... :badgrin: :badgrin: They are sooooo cute!

Hey Elmo,

Looks like they are growing up quickly! I had some quick question for you:

1) How do you move the eggs from the parents tank, or do you wait until they hatch to move them?
2) Where do you get your food to feed them? (Rotifiers?)

I have a mated pair of false percs that have been laying eggs for the last 2 years but I have been to lazy to try to raise the fry. Also my percs lay the eggs on the glass or sometimes on the leather coral they host in. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

One Month old (Day 30), about 50-60 alive. All at least half-inch. Still working...on the other clowns. A bit of bad luck hit me...
