This is the start of my official clownfish breeding thread. Yesterday, my pair of tomato clowns laid eggs for the second time (they have been together for over 3 years). From here on out, I'm going to try to raise the fry. I may not be able to save this batch, but hopefully I can try to get some babies out of the next batch.

I have a whole bunch of new equipment to buy, and a whole bunch of stuff to order online. The shopping began at Walmart tonight. Pictures and updates forthcoming! (But don't expect any updates too soon or anything -- you know, the holidays and all).

Good luck in your new adventure. I did this with fresh water angels for years and supplied the LFS's, it was a blast.........but a lot of work!

Here is the stuff I picked up at Walmart last night.

I got a 10 gallon tank for the baby clowns, and a bubble bar to keep the water moving without hurting them.

I also got a clamp-on shop light to grow the phyto and rotifers for them, as well as two small pumps (one for the bubble bar and one to power all the airstones that are needed to grow the phyto and rotifers). And a little heater for the 10 gallon baby clown tank.

I'm going to order the phyto and rotifer cultures online tonight.

Lookin good!!!!

Just a question though, would setting up a fuge for the tank help with the maintaining of the food for the baby clowns?

Maybe set up a fine mesh in one corner to keep the babies safe?
