My baby clowns are now on Day 11. I have lost no clowns in the last 3-4 days and they are now starting to really grow! Currently, I am feeding them rotifers, baby brine shrimp and some ground up flake food.
At this stage, most of the clownfish have pink/orange bellies, a sign that they are eating brine shrimp. But a few still have silver bellies so I continue with the rotifers. And I am not positive, but I think some are getting used to the flake food.
Metamorphosis is hard to see happen with ocellaris because it happens over a couple of days, but I think we are in the middle of it.
In the meantime, mommy is preparing to lay another clutch of eggs (tomorrow evening I believe).
So, on to the pics. Some are better than others. Without a really good macro lens, my abilities are limited.
