need help with clown eggs (1 Viewer)

[oldmantran]

So I gave a couple ocellaris clowns to a friend who inherited a small biocube tank. That was about 2-3 months ago. Well they mated. And laid eggs. And they're about to hatch any day! I actually thought the clowns were going to eat the first batch or two, but color me WRONG.

So what advice should I be giving to my lucky buddy? mike?!?

Will they survive in the biocube with the parents? Does he need to turn the water flow way down? What does he need for food?

He needs a separate tank for the fry..... better start reading and reading and reading and reading and reading.... as it is a full time job. I sleep 4-6 hrs. Yuck Miss my 8-10 hrs.

Did i hear someone calling my name. lol

Like BidRick said, lots of reading to do and lots of dead batch before he can master breeding clownfish.
Here is a good place for him to read and learn. Breed Clownfish | Saltwater Fish Breeding

No and will be food for other fish
He need to start culturing rotifers and rotifers need food to stay alive. U can use frozen phyto. I used Rotigrow Plus to feed my roitfers.

If he has more questions for me to answer after reading that link i posted above, just come back and ask.
