| Other Information: |
Im not trying to rear these yet so I only collected a few to take pictures and then I tossed them into a tank with some baby clowns as food. The above "tank parameter" numbers are for the brood stock tank in which they hatched. The spawn date of 5/31/14 is an estimate of when I think they spawned, they exact date is not known. |
