| Other Information: |
I wonder if in fact I will once again be subject to hatches split over 2 days. Many of the eggs remained unhatched on the tile...I moved things around and left the tile in the tank...will check it tomorrow to see if the eggs are still alive. MOST of the larvae that hatched, when checked after midnight, were found on the bottom of the tank. I added 20 drops of RotiGreen, as well as a gallon's worth of rotifers, and left the tank lights on to hopefully get the weary larvae up off the tank bottom to start feeding. No clue why this happens - it seems to be a regular issue with my clownfish. Will update this report if more eggs hatch on the 9th night. |
