My favorite part (besides the cute clowns) is the breeder net over the Koralia pump. Great idea.

What are you planning on doing with the clowns? Going to try to keep them together?

Very cool! How long did you have the adults before they started laying eggs?

are you culturing food for the babies? my clark's clowns have a new clutch of eggs every month without fail, but I've never tried to bring them up and none ever survive each hatching (no surprise)

I would love to have that happen in my tank. I doubt I'll find a mate for my clown though.

the key is to keep the eggs under a air stone and at around 84, in a sep tank

the temp makes all the diff between 20% hatch to a 95%

i used a flower pot base and placed it right under the nem and it worked great for nesting ground,and was easy to take in and out!

What's the trick to finding a suitable mate if I already have one clown?
