want to try breeding

[quadracer55]

hello I am curious with breeding faulse perculas and just had a few questions. Do I have to buy My clowns as a pair?? do I need to remove the parents from the fry tank??I have never done this, Is the chemicals that I have to put in the water to make them mate? thanks for all the help I have never breed any fish but guppies when I was live 12 years old. want to try something different, can I breed clowns In a 12 gallon tank??

Buy Joyce Wilkerson's book CLOWNFISHES. Best way to start. Would also suggest reading as many posts in this forum that you can that discuss breeding clowns.

I find that adding this to the water helps the mating process.

Methylenedioxymethcathinone

I bought the book "Breeders Guide" and it gives me details about more than just clownfish. It seems like a lot of reading and even more trial and error.

LOL adding MDMA to your tank water huh? That legal?

thanks but I stopped going to school in the 9th grade.. I have no idea what that means lol but thanks for the help guys!!

you do not have to buy 2 percs as a pair but it much easier .. if they are not already a pair there is a possibility they never will and you would have to seperate them

Hmm, interesting I don't know really, but I am sure that there are cheaper/easier ways of mating that won't get you into any legal trouble (for the fish that is...)

A 12g tank should be fine for a pair of perculas if water quality can be maintained. Two small fish of that species will generally form a pair in-time. Constant conditions, lighting cycles, and quality feeds several times daily with minimal disturbances seems to be the "tried and true," plus you won't have to face a judge concerning analogue laws should you be caught
