I'm a few days behind in posting...
This entry is based on Oct. 14, 2013.

Its been another week of watching the clowns larvae slowly turn into clown fish.
Some are still very much larval in appearance.
Most are getting there middle stripe.
Not a fast process, but they are progressing.

In my last post, I started feeding baby brine shrimp (BBS).
The extreme difficulty in separating the live shrimp from the egg casings and the unhatched eggs is very apparent in this next photo.
Some of the fish are smart enough to reject the eggs in their shells. Some others not so much.
They have been chowing down on the stray eggs that have made it into the tank.
This is not good.
I imagine that these fish are destine to die as a result of an obstruction of their intestines.
