New setup

[tjp]

About a month ago I started up my new clown system, It’s 6 15g tank with a 55g tank for a sump I’m using a magdrive 12 for a return pump.

I’m housing 4 pair of clowns in it.
Cinnamon, Tomato, Black Clarkii and Ocellaris.

The Cinnamon Clownfish 2 nights ago dropped there first eggs about 30-50 of them right in the clay pot, I understand that clutch size will get bigger in time.
But they are not tending them that much, with the flow in the tank the eggs are swaying around like the male will do with his tail, so they must feel safe at the new home.

I’m thinking of letting this batch of eggs go and just wait for a larger clutch, are all clownfish the same with there spawning cycle, 12-15 days before they lay more eggs and around 7-10 days for the eggs to hatch depending on the temp of the tank?

Looks good. Nice setup. I'd probably try and raise this hatch. It'll give you an idea how much a larger hatch might eat etc so you'll have an idea if you have enough phyto / rotifers without starving a large hatch to find out.

I why not, I do have the time, I'll give this small batch a shot.

You can always put this batch in with your next batch after a month. I mix batches all the time. (with Ocellaris)
