It's a Tamron 90mm Macro lens - good value for the money :)

I extracted an egg from the tank tonight ...

And this video

Seeing the heart beating in a 5 day old egg is amazing - I can't wait to try and raise some of these.

Enjoy :)

Exciting news on the clowns! Looks like they're getting close to hatching.
How're the corals going now?

Siphoned out part of the sick looking hammer tonight - the other two are looking OK at the moment.

I have seen what this brown jelly disease can do so I am not confident at this stage.

My guess on the clowns is Thursday night.

Very cool

The didn't hatch last night, maybe tonight :)

There has been a fair amount of growth

Enjoy

All of the eggs hatched last night :)

My plan is to try and raise some of the larvae around October/November but I have a lot to learn between now and then - the research has started :reading

I will also start up another thread shortly for all my questions - @dr_schell and @TheJordans I hope you are ready :rolleyes

Dr. Schell · Jun 1, 2013

Always ready

Meh! Jump in the deep end ;-) live a little :-P

MagicJ · Jun 1, 2013

I have a couple of other projects I need to finish off before I start another one :rolleyes

Plus, it will be easier when the weather starts to warm up again as the larvae growing will all be done in my shed.

@MagicJ, great video. A learning experience for us all. You don't get to see a video like that everyday.

Loving your new babies, hope they grow into their eyes soon! :p

yes, agreed, always the fastest way to learn, but not necessarily the best :-)

TheJordans · Jun 1, 2013

Lol
Agreed :-)

Not much happening in the tank at the moment so I took some pictures of my favorite fish

Brekel · Jun 16, 2013

A couple of great photos!

Love the blenny. Just recently purchased one of these. They are cheeky and full of character, great little fish!

That they are - mine bites my fingers whenever I put food in the tank. And I managed to catch the hawk when it was stretching it's mouth :)

@MagicJ... Wow wow wow wow. I have never seen such amazing pictures and video! Incredible!!! The first shot of all of the eggs clustered together took my breath away... Then seeing the video of the heart beating... It reminded me of the first time I saw my baby on ultrasound. Just amazing, congrats.
