How do I raise newly hatched tomato clownfish?

[sharkfinsean]

Hello,
Finally, after a year or so or trying to get my tomatos to spawn, they have finally done so. I have found a few sites that have step by step guides on how to rear clownfish but I feel more comfortable getting that kind of information from you guys and gals. Just this morning, I saw the clowns laying the eggs and I know that I have at least 5 days before things get difficult.
Have any of you had experience with sustainable aquatics .8mm hatchery feed? Will newborns eat this or will they only accept live food? If so, what live foods would your clowns accept? How often do you feed them? How would I go about removing the babies from the tank as the eggs were laid on the side of the tank. What should the nursery tank be like (i.e lighting, substrate, filtration, water chemistry, etc.)? How much should be fed?
Thanks!
Wish me luck
~Sean

Take this time to do alot of reading. Joyce wilkerson's clownfishes book is a little old but most of the stuff still works great.

And you will want to start the fry on live rotifers.
