L strain rotifers for the first several weeks, newly hatched baby shrimp added around day 4 or so (at least that's when a few have started to eat them), apocyclops and euterpina as they are available |
| Feeding Schedule: |

Fry Description:
(Pre Settlement) |
Thin and darkly pigmented. They never get that "peanut" or full belly look that clownfish get |
Fry Description:
(Post Settlement) |
Begin to cling to surfaces more than swim in the water column. Black with brownish stripes across the body that turn to black and white-ish stripes a couple days later. The head widens a bit and a spot starts developing on the tail similar to the spot the adults have. Also begin to do the same tail curl the adults do when clinging to the surface. The snout begins to elongate slightly after clinging starts and the stripes that run the length of the body begin to fill in. |

| Other Information: |
The settled fish could have been from one of four consecutive hatch dates since I usually combine the smaller hatches together into one rearing container. I put the first hatch date in the hatch field. The remaining hatch dates were 12-31-2012, 1-1-2014 and 1-2-2014. These eggs were artificially incubated. |
