Yellow watchman goby eggs What do I DO ??????

[Myteemouse]

did a hard core glass scraping today to get coraline off and after the lights came on Crystal saw something stuck to the side of the K-4
I had here turn it off and a big group of eggs landed in my hands
So I turned the pumpss off in the 29 gallon and put the egg in there so the fiesty shrimp and fish in the 125 dont eat them.
I'm about to put them in a 20 long for a bit to get them safe
Heres the pics
BTW I know it has to be yellow watchman eggs cause thats the only living thing in my reef I have two of....
Not even shrimp..
NOW WHAT DO I DO??????

Cool. . I dont have any advice but that is cool!

Best bet is find something they will eat FAST and wait till they hatch!

 

[reef18ster]

Is your K4 high or low in the tank? If high then that's odd how the gobies laid eggs there since they're bottom dwellers. Not unless the eggs got blown off of where they were stuck on and got stuck on the K4.

That's awesome Adam!!! Time to figure out how to culture Rotifers, Green Water and maybe Daphnia!!

People use egg yoke for saltwater fish too?

Adam, I just sent you, via PM, a link that you probably should check out, on culturing all kinds of different fry and planktonic foods.

Wow! Always cool to see something new and amazing! Nice to meet you at the Frag workshop. I am sorry I couldn't stay as I had to run to another engagement. I enjoyed your passion for reefing and this kind of event is your reward.

This > http://blogs.thatpetplace.com/thatfishblog/2008/12/17/feeding-egg-yolk-to-fish-fry/ I have no idea if that works for raising saltwater fish.

Any updates Adam? Have you set up a tank for them yet? Anyone in the Tacoma area have a mature sponge filter that Adam can use??

Holy snap, that is awesome! Yeah, time to pick up greenwater and rotifer cultures. You can buy em on online and have em overnighted to your house. Greenwater is super easy, All you need is light and an airstone. Not too sure about whats needed for rotifers.

http://www.livebrineshrimp.com/ prolly has everything you'll need. Live rotifers, phyto, etc
