I know there are podcasts you can get on this topic from talking reef.

Resize much? Just kidding, really nice pics. I guess you can have large pics because you're hosting them yourself, unlike most of us who use photobucket or google photo.

Very very nice tank!

As far as raising them, I believe you should move them into a seperate quarantine tank with nothing but an airbubble filter (so they arn't thrown around), and you can raise them with rotifers, then I think up to cyclopeeze, then mysis, then pellet, and finally flake (or w/e as long as it's smallest to largest, starting with rotifers.

Good luck and congratulation!!!

Get the book called "clownfishes" by Joyce something.

An amazing book on any and everything clownfishes, including breeding, raising, selling, food mixes, history, species...and more.

My clowns laid eggs a few days ago and they're ready to hatch. So I've been doing alot of reading on this subject too. You can go to the forum here "Anemones & Clownfish" and get all kinds of information:

Here's a thread that was helpful from someone who wrote a log of their experience:

And here's some information that I also found via Reef Central:

Ray, does that mean I'm a grandfather, and Mel is a great grandfather?

 

[rawbomb]

TY prideprops those are awsome links.

 

[rawbomb]

Yup your all getting older. did they ever lay in the tank before carlos?

 

[invertigator]

They never laid eggs in my tank, I only had them for about two months before I got the new tank with the false percs. I think they laid eggs in Mel's tank before I got them. I never got around to buying them a nice place to host either.

Here's a picture of my "happy couple" and their eggs (as of last night). You can see their little eyes. Maybe tonight they'll hatch!!
