I have clowfish eggs, What Next?

[cbogan08]

so i got home yesterday and i noticed some eggs in my tank. THis is the first time this has happened. I don't want to get into this full time, but i would like to try and raise a batch. Not this time but maybe if it happened again.

I'm new at this stuff so IF i did, I would need tons of help for everyone on here.

So feel free to leave any suggestions.

Well you need Rotifers and Phyto and a small tank / heater etc to start.

where can I get rots and phyto? I have a tank and heater?

Reeds would be my choice if I lived in the US.

I second Reeds.
www.reedmariculture.com
You also should learn how to culture rotifers. I believe Reeds also has a section that explains how to do it.
You'll also need some airstones and a decent air pump.

The thing you'll need the most is patience. It can be frustrating. Massive die offs in the first week or at metamorphosis is annoying.

Good luck.
I've enjoyed raising clowns but it sure does take a lot of time.
