Mating Clowns

[SonicGT02]

I have posted before that my clowns where now laying eggs. Now none of them survived, but I didn't think they would. BUT how often do they breed?? Mine have been laying eggs almost every 2 weeks or so. Is there a time of year that this happens? Must be some really horny fish or something :lol: !! I'm thinking maybe I should start trying to keep them! Any thoughts??

lol about the horny part but odds is you should keep them in a breeders net im mean you could totally sell them when they mature

There's a link around here somewhere on breeding and raising clowns. I seems to be quite involved.

I have read something before about raising them from the time they hatch, but it did seem quite involved! I was just wondering if anyone on here has been doing it at all.

There is no "season'. My mated pair have been laying eggs every 2 weeks for a couple years now.

Raising the fry is quite the project. Way more work than I want to take on. Plus, once you raise them, do you have some place to sell them?

Thanks Capt - I kind of figured that, but didn't know. I guess I'll just have to let them be fish food, as they don't last long!!
