Maroon Clown Eggs

[42un81]

Have any of you guys had luck raising clown eggs after they hatched?
I just found this batch in my display tank, i have been finding them every month or so.

That rocks. For one I would think that they need to find a new home in a tank with out flow. Then figure out what they eat. Thats way cool.

definately check out the breeding forum

Mine too lay eggs every few weeks...I have the clown fishes book if you want t o read it,,,it has a lot of good information on it...but its waaaaaaaay too much work for me! If It were only as easy as guppies and mollies! hehe

I takes a lot of time and know how to get those going . Good luck

Jessp:
Yep, i've had them for about two years now.

Bret:
i read the forum and i've browsed the books but i don't have the time or space to do it.

that is wicked, I love to get some of the hatchlings if you manage to raise them.

Sweeet!

you're going to need bbs, rotifiers, and a hatchery. I found some absolutely great ideas for hatcheries while inquiring about sea horse fry.

Ask Mark Park!

That is really neat. I wish my pair would lay some eggs.... it seems like we have had them forever LOL.
Good luck with them.

here is a pic of my male attending to the eggs they laid last night! if anyone wants to try and raise them I can actually get this rock out!

 

[42un81]

Nice pic Bret.

The eggs in my tank have changed color, they look kind of purple.
These pictures aren't clear but they look like a nest of eyeballs staring back at you.
Both male and female are waving their fins over the eggs, its really cool to watch them.

if I had the space and time I would LOVE to get in to breeding them! They lay eggs like clock work. But sadly I chose to live on the beach...and there is little to no room in my apt! Plus the fact that time it would take! I am considering getting in touch with Mark and seeing if he wants the rock the current eggs are on since I dont think he does GSM clowns....Heck Id even switch them out for a pair of less aggressive clowns(as long as theyd go in to my LTA!)
