NirvanaFan's Ocellaris clownfish breeding attempt

It's been a LONG time since I updated this thread, so I thought I'd give a quick update. The first batch of eggs I tried rearing died just after I got back from my 7 day work trip. They were underfed while I was gone (my wife didn't feed them enough I think). Work was so busy I didn't have time to raise any more until recently.

Currently I have 10 clowns that are about 3 weeks old. I can see the 3rd stripe starting on a few of them, and others just have 2 stripes. They're eating baby brine and crushed up pellets now.

Once they get bigger I plan on selling/trading them to people. I don't picture being able to get rid of 10 clowns locally to people here on RC. Do you guys trade/sell them to the LFS for cash or credit once they get big enough? How big are they when you take them to the store?

Some stores will take them smaller than others. I get $10.00 store credit or $8.00 cash for mine. They are 1 1/4" long when I sell them.
