Help Raising Percula Clownfish Eggs !

[richoman_3]

one of my dads mates has a communal marine tank and has a pair of percula clownfish that lay heaps off eggs (they get eaten).
i wanted to get some off him, and was wondering, how should i care for them ?. what food do they eat, tank size, just bout everything ! (never kept saltwater fish before, only freshwater.)

all help will be appreciated !


cheers Nick.

read nemos thread in the section above...shes raised loads of baby clowns! they need live food for the first stage, so you should be culturing your own rotifers for a few weeks before to get a bit stock pile up

Unfortunately I cannot type out much as I'm about to leave for work, but my journal is linked in my signature. I think I have most everything in there, including various methods I've used. Some which worked, and some which have not.

If you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask here or message me.
I'll try to update to my current methods for you when I get home.
