Help My Clown Fish Laid Eggs!

[edandsandy]

HELP!
What do I do?????
There is a few 100 eggs!
I'm so excited! I guess?!?
Do I leave them alone, do I move them????
I have a 39g Red Sea Max tank I could set up.
They are hosting a hairy mushroom of all things!
I do have a BTA in the tank, they don't like it and will not host it.


I will try and take some pictures later and post them.

Honestly, at this point there isn't much to do. Just leave them and let nature take its course. Which would be them hatching in about 10 days or so, and let them be food for your tank.

Raising the fry isn't the easiest thing in the world, but not the hardest either. Will need to make/grow food for the fry.

Suggest getting Joyce Wilkerson's book and do some reading in the breading forum.

+1, read the book stated above and this:

I haven't raised clownfish but with the proper preparation, it doesn't seem to difficult. Now that they have spawned, they probably will continue to do so. As part of the preparation, after the eggs hatch try to place a removable object where the eggs were laid so you can move it out to a separate tank for future spawning events.

Best of luck.

Just curious, what type of clowns? Currently my pink skunk pair and clarkii pair are spawning. (( waiting for my SI Perc pair to start ))
