    Just did my first water change. Took out 3 gallons and replaced with 5 gallons 1.024 salinity. Temp dropped to 77.8. I did suck up one fish but he was promptly scooped out of the bucket and put back into the tank with all his brothers.
    It is now day 5 on the Otohime A diet and they all doing just great.

    My clowns haved reached metamorphasis, the stage when they go from larval fish to juvenile fish. To my understanding you can tell when they enter metamorphasis they start to show swimming movements like that of a normal adult clownfish.
    Here is a video that I took on monday. Still trying to figure some things out with the corel video studio. But I think it's good for now.

    At the end of meamorphasis they start to show their striping. Then they go into settlement.
    Here is a picture I took just a little while ago.

    This one here has a very faint belly stripe also.

    Even though this is my second time raising clownfish it is still so exciting!!

    Just did another 50% water change. Temp is at 76.3 Salinity is at 1.025. I don't know what the ph is as I do not have a test kit. I syphoned all the extra food and poo off the bottom of the tank so now it's nice and clean.
    More and more of the fry are getting their head stripe. They're so cute already. going to try to get an official count on how many are in there later today.

    Stay tuned for the next update.

    some of the babies are turning orange around their face and bellies. Now they look even more cute! I'll take some pictures tomorrow.
