Guys, I need your help and lots of it. My two clowns that I picked up 3 years ago laid eggs. This is the second time I have actually observed the eggs. I need as much information to set up a breeding tank as possible and as soon as possible. I may have another 5-15 days left. I have googled this topic but I am lazy and I want to learn from the experienced. Currently I have a 20 gal tank with no other fish and no cleaner shrimps (they passed away during the california heat wave. :-( I am invested in a chiller now)
I have two options.
First, can get some sort of floating hatchery to keep the eggs in the main tank? I find this to be the safest and the easiest. The water will be the same and requires less moving and handling. If this is viable can someone suggest all the equipments I need. (I need a shopping list)
Second, if required I will setup a smaller hatchery. Can someone give me a list of equipments that I need to buy? I know I need air pump, airstones, a small tank, some sort of filtration and heater. What I really want to know is what worked best for you guys. I have read that a circular tank is better than rectangular because of better air mixture.
Thank you all in advance!
