The less likely offspring are too survive the more they have. Deals with level of parental care etc, etc, etc. It's all a percentage game.
They are soooo tiny lol
What is this?!!! WOW
Pretty stuff I didn’t buy
Thank you. Now I have a goal
That checks out
Interesting new development in the brood tank. The video I posted above is actually not of clownfish larvae. By blind dumb luck, the initial batch of larvae that I harvested are either from my Orchid Dottybacks, or the Springeri Damsels. Based on research last night I am leaning to the Dottybacks.
With that being said, I have also harvested clownfish larvae. There are 2 distinct physically different larvae in the brood tank.
Initial care and requirements for both are very similar, but larval settlement is different in terms of timing. My fear is that the clownfish larvae are much faster growing and will begin to consume the other in time. we are on day 4 for the unknown brood, and day 3 for the clownfish. By my estimate last night there are approximately 60 clownfish fry and 90 of the other.
These are clownfish pics
My first batch looks like the 2nd set of larvae.
Love how there is always something new and exciting going on in reefing...
keep swimming friends.
I take second dibsDibs on a few dotty's...
Dibs on a few dotty's...
Technically we don't know what Spec #1 and #4 are, so it's possible my dibs proceeds all dibs.

Can I use my old old area code in Louisiana: 985?
