Help!!!!! My clownfish

[blueheaven]

A few days ago i noticed that my clownfish stomach is bloated and I thought i overfeed but today i see, the clownfish took a zoo as host!!! It stay there and dun come out to eat when i feed my other fighes.(usually it fights for the food)

so i thought it may be pregnant!!!!! if really like that, what should i do next???

[ReDDeviLs]

wow are u sure?? congrats...

[Hon]

Congrats!!! You going to be a father of a thousand nemo ...

[Alentino]

congrats

[angelfishone]

Congratulation...but who is responsible ???

[Venezia]

firstly, u should place a ceramic tile in your tank(preferably at the bottom near an anemone (if u hav 1) or near some live rocks.so that mummy can lay the eggs onto it.

gtg.. stay tune for more

[blueheaven]

problem is that my tank is so filled up with corals that got no space to put a ceramic tile inside. i think i just let mummy clownfish do it naturally. hope that the small clowns will survive!!!

[ReDDeviLs]

think u got to do a search about how to breed them online,

use to have 1 page on them,but lost it after i format my pc

[Venezia]

also beware when putting your hand into the tank as mummy may bite u. maybe u should put them in another tank with ceramic tile and a few rocks and jus an airstone so that the baby when be sucked into the filter. prepare to buy rotifers for the new born too.

Hmm..free food for the corals..

[blacknails]

Hey, congrats man!! Hope you raise the fry well!!!

[Tigger]

keep us posted on the progress

[junyong84]

good luck!!!

[AquaRa]

is it true dat filtration will destroy all the eggs?

[Venezia]

filtration does not destroy the eggs, but the free-floating fry that's newly -hatched

[Tanzy]

The tiny nemos won't survive more than the night in the tank. They will get eaten or end up in the skimmer. Look out for shiny littles eyes when emptying the skimmate or cleaning the skimmer.

If you want to raise the fries, you'll need to get them out of the tank once hatched. Of course they will need feeding with rotifer which you must grow and it's too late now. Read Clownfish by Joyce Wilkerson for more information to breeding clownfishes.

Tanzy has a spawning pair of clowns... always breeding. I suspect that it has to do with the 4 streams in his tank. The clowns can't really swim around much due to the massive current so they stay together and with too much time on their fins...

hahahah... gd 1 ... remind me when i was in papua new guinea for 4 yrs.. the villager always stay at their bedroom coz no electricty to power up the tv so have to look for other "entertainment"

Hi Tanzy....just curious, will the clown fish spawn polluted the water?

bec for Koi, I've know people who keep in fiber tank and all the Koi died from a mid-night spawn.

[blueheaven]

now i got a mass of eggs on my LR....... hope its like the Finding Nemo can see the fish wriggling inside. my other damsel does not bother them though

[flubberina13]

Just wondering...objective is to save the fries...

is it possible to put those acrylic containers, that are ventilated by small holes and yet do not permit fish to enter, over the eggs in your tank?

I'm just worried that they will become 'ebiko' for the tank inhabitants...

[blueheaven]

yah i have been trying to find those containers. wanna try frogfish u noe. but cannot find leh....
