Wrap somthing black around all sides of the tank even the front. The only light in the tank should come from the top. This makes it easier for them to see and catch their prey. When the fry stand on their head on the bottom there is to much light, when they are at the surface there is to little light. Over the first few days increase the light slowly. Buy Joyce D. Wilkersons book Clownfishes. I followed this step by step and had 80% of the fry growing up to adult clowns.
Next time try painting the tank black or put some black construction paper completely around the sides. Even go as far as to put some electrical tape around the light on the heater. They're not supposed to have any light for the first few says other than from the top for feeding. They're nearly blind at first and the bright lights are bad for their eye development.
your clown fish will lay eggs about every ten days so luckly you will be able to try again hopefully some of these guys make it if not theres next time too i dont tthink that dt's will work from what i ready they will only eat live rodifers and it said it in bolded upcase so yah.
