First attempt and raising baby snowflakes.

Here's a question for everyone. Can I put my first and second batch of clowns all in one tank? First batch is 35 days old and second batch is 23 days old. There would be about 55 fry in one tank. Is this ok to do or will they not get along?

I actually scored a deal with my LFS to by my babies. Only issue is they wanna give me $15 to $20 a fish but they will buy almost all if not all of them. What you think? Is it worth it to sell privately or just off load them and keep a constant rotation of them?

That's not bad, I was offered $10-15 for my picassos and platinums. A little low IMO but I plan to keep the premium picasso and try to sell them myself. It's not always going to be easy to unload these guys though so it's good to have a place that you can take them and still make a few bucks. It turns out I will be holding on yo these guys twice as long as I though. From what I've read people sell them at 1" (approx 3-4 months old) my oldest are 4 months or so and only at 1". They seem to small to sell to me though so I'll probably hold on to them til they are about 6 months.

Its getting there. My skimmer will be Tuesday. I'm doing 5 to 10 gallon water changes daily on my main tank so that I'll have a good amount of water that's been cycled in the breeder tank.
 
It's for my fry. I just bought a pair of DaVincis last night from my LFS. Sweet looking pair and their holding them for me for a few days till I get this all squared away. I may put those 2 clownfish in my sump seems it's so big. I'll post a pic of those when I pic them up. I'm picking up the light for my setup tomorrow then all I need is the skimmer which will be here Tuesday. Then I'm set. I hatched another fry batch last night but for some reason there was only a half success rate on the hatch. I think the temp was a little off when I transferred them last night which may have caused that. About 60 hatched so I'm ok with that. Would have liked a better turnout but I can't complain.
 
It's good to know I at least have a few following that may learn something from my mistakes. Hope some of you can gain some knowledge from all this. Sometimes I feel I'm the only one that enjoys the whole breeding process.
