Cinnamon clownfish eggs?

[ReelFreak]

My pair of cinnamon clowns laid a clutch of eggs last week . About how long does it normally take for them to hatch? I realise that they are most likely not going to make it, but just curious as to others experience with this.

Right now there might be about 50 eggs left, and they definitely look different than the first day. I don't have rotifers for the fry, nor a tank to raise them in so I expect them to kind of disappear shortly after hatching. Maybe one day if they continue to lay eggs, I will work on setting up a system for raising fry.....Maybe

Well I guess I need to charge the camera batteries and take some pics while they are still there..... Just thought I'd share the good news, apparently they are quite happy with their tank!

i think it was 10 days, but you might want to check with the breeding forum.

Well the first batch has come and gone, took about 10 days or so. They have now laid their second batch a few days ago.

Here are shots of the male tending to them.

He is laying them in the Enemone? If you want them where you can access them you will need to lay down a ceramic tile for them. That is if you want to actually raise the clutch.

Otherwise just let them do their thing. If you are not feeding the parents high quality food even if you do try and raise them the results will not be very good.

They are now on batch #3, but I don't have plans to try and raise them. Too much work for me right now, I've got my own egg that's going to hatch soon so I'm working on a baby room right now.

They have been laying the eggs in almost the same spot each time, on the piece of tonga branch in the picture. Even though the eggs will never make it, I'm just happy to see my clowns starting to breed. Must mean they are happy, which is good enough for me!!
