Clown Breeding

[AwkwardParrot]

Okay, I've been into salt tanks for less than a year. Now, I've had a pair of clows from the begining, that have (2 months ago) found an anemone to hoast with. It is awesome. I've had a few people over to see the tank and they've said the clows are ready to mate....i've been reading and reading and can't figgure out:

-exactly what i have to do/use to get that to happen,
how long this takes,
is there any special light cycles,
what to feed them (flake food and misys for now)?

I'll take any and all advice, comments, and questions! Just let me know.

Don't do anything.. Keep them well fed.

They may or may not ever mate. There is no real timeline.. Maybe a
day maybe a year maybe never.

Nope

I wouldn't use flake in my tank.. Get a quality pellet or even better frozen food. Mix it up. Variety is the spice of life...

okay, will do, who makes a good pellet food?

 

[rkelman]

Formula 1 and Formula 2 are good. F1 is meaty F2 is plant based. Depending on which other fish you have I would feed both.

For pellets I really like the New Life Spectrum.
