Default yellow tail damsel hatched

hey everyone,

i had cleaned out my frag tray and moved it to another tank. while doing this, i found a clutch of eggs, belonging to the yellow tail damsel pair.

this was done, 3 days ago, and tonight they hatched. there are about 50 little guys that look like mysis but have the blue in the, all swimming around.

any ideas of what to feed? i dose coral vitilzer every day in there?

live brine shrimp might be a good start John.

And congrats

just try the frozen rots and then after a week hatch your own brine shrimp it's easy!

yeah you can try frozen... only problem is ... they dont target them as food... they need to bump into them ..... after a few days you should be able to use frozen ... they need to reconize the food moving first
