Hey,right after they lay the eggs,i remove them and place them in a seperate tank[the ones with the plastic cover,you can often find these and are imexpensive]

Then,I would remove the cover,and cover it with something translucent,eg tracing paper.

Then,place a low watt bulb above the tracing paper,then turn it on.This will simulate the moon,and also help the fry to find their food,which in this case,is artemia or baby brine shrimp.

Just a heads up,the eggs will hatch only at night,so watch out for that bit.

Feed them frequently,then transfer them into a larger tank when they have grown in sizes.

Continue till they have reached Adulthood :D

Cheers :D

When you remove the eggs from the tank? I read the net and many had varies hatch day .. am worried I will pull the eggs out too early ..

Based on my reading, is recommended that the live rock or tile to be left inside the breeding tank with the pair as they will keep it aerated and clean. On the day of hatch, use a small dim torch to shine the surface of the tank and use a cup to scoop up the fries and transfer them to a nursery tank ...

Share ur experience and some do's and dont's .. am trying to breed my clowns now .. they are doing the courtship ritual already but yet to lay any eggs .. need to get myself prepared

This is my pair of clowns

Hi thanks for all e advise. But my is they lay and eat on e spot. Sad...

try and not disturb the spawning pairs even like walking pass yr tank might spook them , they might or might not eat the eggs which in your case they did.

alot of info can be found online , goggle is your best friend. Most people remove the eggs on hatch night , u wont want to go tru the trouble of catching the frys with your torch n scoop. Feeding the fry would be your next headache but u should be able to get them from the sponsor forums.

they might be showing courtship but it might take them quite awhile to start spawning GDluck !

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
