cci[RR]us Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Just being curious here, hope you don't mind... If the eggs are separated from their parents, can they hatch? I watched some documentaries and I noticed that the parents would regularly fan the eggs, and do other strange stuff to the eggs. Without the real parents, are "experienced" humans up to the job of breeding them?

SRC Member zipp86 Posted September 3, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted September 3, 2007 the fanning is to keep fungus growing on the eggs, a tank with good wave action will help "fan" the eggs too, but i agree with cirrius that giving the fry away after 10 days would be better than giving the eggs. feed them with roti-feast!!

adrianlau Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I believe the fanning can be copied by blowing air bubles. But the eggs are on a clam right? How are you gonna separate the eggs from the clam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cci[RR]us Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 but i agree with javier that giving the fry away after 10 days would be better than giving the eggs. I thought he is just giving the eggs and not the fries?

Cool. Hopefully the owner can get the eggs hatched, develop them into fries and grow into baby clownfishes (true percs are not nemos )... so we can buy!

Just thinking aloud... On the way home, there wouldn't be any parent true percs fanning the eggs. Would the eggs still be "alive / fresh" when they reach the new tank?

xpert1974 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Getting the egg to hatch is only the first step. Usually one day after hatching, more than half is dead. Second day after hatching, usually you can use your finger to count the fly I only manage to get 1 fly to last one week. Waste a lot of $$ on rotifier. Finally give up.

ambystoma82 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 haaha... u knw y? cus usually e 1st 2-3 birth eggs of e nemo is still quite weak.. they also work like human nid tonics for their baby but more than half e chances of surviver is quite high.. i must admit rotifers is expensive quite to e lack of producer... luckilly they dun nid to feed on rots for very long b4 changing their diet.. else i go broke also..
