hi
three days ago I note that my three spot damsel is garding one of the live rocks and she dont allow any other fish to sweem near this rock>
I couldnt see what exactly on the live rock but when I use the macro lense it was ahappy mews.

any one knows how many days needed for the kids to go out of the eggs??

thanks for sharing, that's not a common thing Usually we dont keep damsels long enough to have them breeding, if they follow the clownfish type of fish timeframe, it will be around 7-10 days.

thanks,
is there a chance to save the kids from the other fishes .

not sure if the breeding cycle is similiar to clownfish, but if it is, I suspect you need to feed them live rotifier or smaller stuff, if you do not have a culture readily available, you might not be able to rear these youngs anyways.

Take a look at the damsel breeding info at WWM: DamselReproFAQs

Unfortuantely not many people really put in the time dedicated to breed damsels so you can find alot of the rearing information from the clownfish breeding side if you are interested in getting into it.
