rogerbn Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) Does no one have any exp on this issue. Even the littlest would help me out name a book or a website. I'm willing to look at all what is thrown at me. According to one page there is not much time only about 10 day until they hatch. If nothing is done then all the fish will be haveing a high protein meal. Edited June 11, 2008 by rogerbn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I know there is a lady on reef central that has done a lot with raising clowns. You might do a search there and see what your find. I know you will need to remove them to a separate tank and they need rotifers to eat while they are tiny. Beyond that I can't help your too much.

Do a search on MAAST as I think one of the SA guys was trying to raise some. I had my clowns laying tons of times before but it is alot of work and pretty hard to actually get those eggs to hatch in captivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
