Clownfish breeding?
 
Just found out my clownfish laid eggs under the anenome in my 190 gallon tank. Not sure what to do? What's chance of the babies surviving in the tank with the other fish?

Several people have had success raising the fry. It's a lot of research, time and work. Depends on if your up to it.

You need to capture the larvae the night they hatch, put them into a separate tank, have phytoplankton on the go to feed rotifers, to feed the clownfish larvae. If you're lucky, after a week they metamorphose into little clownfish & you can feed them live brine shrimp & perhaps wean them on to flake or other artificial food.

My maroons have been breeding for years, I haven't been keen enough to set up a breeding tank, so the larvae become food for other critters in the system.
