Thats interesting Myka. So how do you determine hatching night? I have clowns that are constantly laying eggs and of course they are on a rock at the bottom which would involve a complete deconstruction of the rock work to get out. Seems like alot of hard work for the male to look after just to have them eat them when they hatch.

Get a larvae trap or build one, it's way easier. Look up April Kirkendoll for a good DIY larvae trap. The eggs will hatch on a certain day depending on species and temperature. You can tell by looking at them too, just start paying attention to what day they are laid and what day they disappear. It will most likely be very consistent.
I did the egg picking technique until someone turned the light on for me and pointed me towards a larvae trap!  Last edited by Myka; 08-31-2011 at 11:28 PM.

Just move the rock into a down tank. As Neil said the eggs are quite resilient to water change.
Depending on the clowns, most will hatch the 8th night of spawn. About 2 hours after lights out. I have found you get a better hatch rate when the tank is pitch black with no light at all.
