Put it in a breeding box and let them hatch. Then see what you get.

Very interesting indeed! I'm following this too! Do you have any mated fish?

 

[debby]

I have several mated. Clowns, pj cardinals -

Anthony I cannot do that. I live in a NYC apartment and my tank (180)g is a room divider

You can't put a small box inside your tank? Maybe in the sump?

Those are 80 Yellow Tang eggs, hatched price….. $24,000.00 good luck.

 

[debby]

Great. Can't wait to see what you have. If they are snails, place some nori in the box for them when they hatch.

Yes I do!

Those are cowrie eggs. Mine lay eggs all the time. I’ve found babies once, but I’ve never seen any make it past a few weeks. I’m not sure if they’re just picked off by fish or if their dietary needs aren’t met. Hopefully you’ll be lucky and have some survive to maturity.

 

[debby]

Thank you all!

 

[gig 'em]

If you do manage to raise them to maturity please post about it and how you did it. I would love to know how to raise them.

They are in the sump, where no one will eat'em. I'll keep posting if I see any hatching
