Breeding Clowns
 

I was just wondering if anyone had any information on breeding clown fish. My mated pair have been laying a lot of eggs lately and their offspring always die out. I know I need to feed them live food (rotifers?) and syphon them out when they are born. Do they have any light requirements in a seperate tank?

If anyone has any information on this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

I was going breed some. Doesnt seem like a "easy" task though
Ive been reading up here: http://www.breedclownfish.com/
Lots of good info.

Happy clown raising!

I could recommend you to a million sites on google search.
But i can almost say for certain that it is the water quality.
This is the biggest mistake new breeders make.
Buy a good product like ClorAm-X.

Wattage Lighting is unimportant but a regular on/off for light is.

The book "Clownfishes" by Joyce D. Wilkerson is a great resource for anyone contemplating raising the critters.

you can talk to will0311 i believe is his name on the boards he has recently bred 160 clowns i personally have 2 of them.
