Maroons laid eggs, now what?

Great information! This is their first clutch (that I've seen), so I will let them go through the process for a while before I try rearing the young. I would like to try more for the experience then to try and make money, but, as you mentioned Spated, when you have 200 fish at the end, what do you do with them?
Right now its a cool experience, and with my leopard wrasses doing a love dance every evening lately, there is always something new to learn and see.

I love this hobby!

Wrasses would be awesome to try and breed. I don't know of anyone who's had any recorded success with them though.

Breeding marine life is certainly an exciting thing. I still get excited when I see a nest hatch, and I've seen a few. I wish more people had success and tried to breed new species as well. Our reefs depend on us to control the wild caught population, which in turn means we need to be able to produce more tank raised fish for the aquarium hobby.

Hey there,
I raised 3 or 4 batches of occelaris for the exact reason kpg said. For the experience. It was work. I used the instant algae spated mentioned. I ground up my nls pellets and went from Rotifers to powdered pellets. it was amazing to see a 10 gallon tank full of little clowns. Most amazing was metamorphosis waking up to find the little brown fry turned into perfect little orange waggling clowns. I would suggest try it some day, when you have some spare time!!
