It takes alot to rear clownfish babies. You need live phyto and rotifer cultures, along with regular hatchlings of brine shrimp. You may want to check out the breeding forum, they may have some tips, tricks and shortcuts. Congradulations and good luck.

You will not be able to rear any of their first batch... it may take 2 or three times. Congrats though.... Embryonyx has a blog page which has some helpful information on it... Do some homework:

Also, no, the offspring WILL NOT survive in the display tank, you will need to separate them (either somehow convince the clowns to lay on a removable object, or capture the fry the night of the hatch.)

Also, you might want to pick up Joyce Wilkerson's "Clownfishes" Great book, tons of info on breeding clowns.
