Congrates, Mate..The chromis will try to protect the babbies, Not sure what type of fish you have in the MD? you could try to capture them, and place em in a tank with a airstone , feed enriched rotifers and copepods/Artimia . Good luck! But now they have spawned they will do it again,you'll get a second chance ;) My lfs has a mated pair but he never raises them the larva is eaten by the other fish within a month..

the male is so protective, he is giving all the other fish a flogging if they swim to close. I am going to rename him DR JECKLE AND MR HIDE cause he was a nice docile schooling fish with not a care, and then turned into a raging physco. HAHAHA.
I have done some research and it says that they are very similar in breeding habits to the clowns.
Any where from 3 -7 days the eggs will hatch, usually 2 hours after lights out. once they do, they say to gather the fry by using a torch to draw them to the light. scoop them out to a raising tank, feeding them rotifers and finally brine when bigger.
