need some help and advise

[90reefernyc]

Ok so came home from work today and found this:

This is the second time in three months that I have noticed the eggs. There from gold stripe maroon clowns. After the first time I put a piece of ceramic tile in the same spot and nothing.. So yesterday I noticed they had knocked down the tile I put it back. This afternoon I saw it down again and decided to leave it till I get back home from work, that's when I noticed the eggs.
So the last time this happened I started reading the clown fish book by Joyce D. Wilkerson. I read that usually the first batches are no good any way, so I decided to let it go and try to get ready for future spawns. I went out and purchased a 10 gallon tank 3 air stones an air pump and heater. I have a small florescent light fixture.
So now my main problem is food. I have nothing to feed them and don't know if I have time to produce rotifers. They laid the eggs today so I should have 8 days till they hatch. Do i have enough time to start a culture to produce rotifers or is there somewhere or someone I can buy them from?
Thanks for listening and helping me out with some advise.
Jimmy

Rotifers from Live Aquaria (http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=2190+3063&pcatid=3063&cmpid=13cseYY&ref=XXXX&subref=AA&CAWELAID=847016152)

I believe is will get you started.

I need to ask about this, myself, but I would probably order enough to start a culture and place another order for closer to hatch time.

Keep in mind, I'm a newb that is just starting to learn, so don't run with my thoughts as being solid advice.

Thanks for the replies I ordered from reeds. Eggs hatched on Tuesday night catcher like 200-300 of them and put them in tank. How much Rotifera to feed them in a 10 gallon and howe often?
Thanks Jimmy

It's on Perc's but the basic info should relate. It starts from the begining gathering information trial and error and proceeds thru to success.

My clowns just laid eggs again only 3 days after the last hatch is this Normal?
Also would I have to set up another tank for this batch?
