Feeding Clown fry

[snafu38]

Hi all,
since my last post I had almost all my clown eggs eaten, except for about 20. I recovered 13 fry but all I had for them was baby brine shrimp, which were too big for them. I also had some plankton tabs which I crumbled up but was unsure if they ate it. They all died within 4 days.

The adults have since laid more eggs (which exact species Im still to discover, I have put up some pics if you can help).

I am wondering if anyone can help me regarding what to feed them until they are big enough to take BS. What is the opinion on liquid fry food ?

Any help will be appreciated,

Stan

What species of clown? Primarily you will need rotifers for the first while after hatching, from there you can move onto gut loaded artemia.

Hi Stan. Nice looking clowns.

Your female is an orange-snout Black Ocellaris (Amphiprion ocellaris) and your male is a normal Ocellaris (Amphiprion ocellaris). Both fish are of the same species, just different variants.

Best,
Ilham
