Feeding clownfish larva

[gaz19]

Hi every one

this is going to be my first atempt at breeding clown fish. before i get the tanks up and running could any one help me out on how to feed the larva once they have hatched, and while the are growing up. I have read over and over again but cant seem to catch on the feeding "method"

thanks every one

Check the sticky on setups for some system-design ideas:

(I know, more threads to read!)
Simple setups are usually easier to construct and maintain and are more efficient. Overkill on filtration isn't a bad investment either. For larval tanks, an airstone and a heater is all you need, but be ready for heavy-duty biofiltration for growout tanks.

What you want is 2 air stones in the middle of a 10/20 gallon, a air powered sponge filter, and a VERY low powered power head- like a MJ400. And you need to cultivate LIVE baby brine shrimp.

Good Luck.
