I have a pair of percula clowns (tank raised) and they have laid 3 or 4 batches of eggs. Another batch is fixing to be laid in the next few days. The problem I am having is that they are apparently eating the eggs little by little as the week goes by.
I have read that they sometimes will do this until about the 3rd or 4th batch and then quit. I have a 4" flower pot in the 37 gallon tank that is used for their home and egg laying.
Should I remove the eggs immediately after they are fertilized?
Or should I be patient and wait a bit longer?
Thanks for any help. I have been so busy raising baby seahorses that I have not had my full attention on the clowns. I do have lots of green water and rotifers 'ready to go'.
