Ok first, i wanna see if anyone on here is in NJ and breeding clowns or cardinals (if your in NJ and don't breed those types of fish please tell me what you do breed)

Ok second, i dont underside what i need for breeding like 2-3 tanks? i just dont get it... can i use containers? what should i get before i get the fish? filters, heaters lights?
Thanks and I'm trying to get that clownfish book a few members told me about

THANK YOU!!!!

Don't buy anything but that book for starters. First decide if you really want to do this. It entails a lot of time and money. If you buy equipment before you know what you are in for, you may quit and have wasted a lot of money on stuff you will never use.

Start slowly. Grow some phytoplankton. Start some rotifers. See if you have a friend with spawning fish that will let you practice on their newly hatched larvae. That's what I did, and it worked out well. Very little expense, and you can get your feet wet. Then if you like it, and it fits into your lifestyle, you can build a system, and get serious.

You need no more advice at this time, than to read and understand that book.
 
Thx yea i'm going to ask for that book for Christmas then if i think i should i'll go out and buy some stuff and i'm 15 :p i could have a job just dont fill like it :D

and how is alot of money like 200-300 bucks?
BTW thx for the info kathy55g
 
yea not many of us around and i will ask every question that i'm not sure about i dont wanna lose any lives because of a short cut i took or something..
 
nope...i don't have one yet I've been talking with the owner of NYAquatic.com and he said he will try and get me a pair of clowns for 40 bucks with shipping unless i can find someone selling a mated pair locally around here...
i heard some one talking about a online fish store that sells pairs of fish but i forgot the site anyone know? i remember them having mated pairs of gobys for sell awhile back
 
yea i hope he can get me a pair but i'm not a 100% sure he will i'm going to check a few fish stores before i'd buy from the web but never know and what are your plans and list for breeding?
 
like with your tank how are you setting up your tanks to breed i'm going to go make something with paint and post it on here and ask if it will work for frys
 
hmm i just seen the picture i don't understand it maybe i will figure it out i'm going to look at it again and then upload the one i just did :D
 
ok well the little blue things are bio balls then the protien skimmer has a pump that is fed water from the overflow that is on its way up and over into the refugium and then the skimmer will have a chance to get gunk out of the water after it has been through the bio balls then the refugium has a deep sand bed for all the tiny organisms to florish in the refugium also has macro algea for nutient export and then the rock for other pod reproduction then the filtered/ pod infested water is pumped into the tank with the clowns so they can injoy the pods and clean water
 
Oh yea here is the picture i made I'm not sure about the divider i might make it smaller and add some floss and some filter stuff to keep it cleaner

 
think u all should get the book. You cant keep big guys and just hatched guys in the same tank, and u cant do it with out a skimmer either.
