What to do with clownfish eggs?

Just for the sake of knowledge, I recently acquired a pair of clownfish, and was wondering since they are the only fish in my tank what would i do if they had babies. I know that it may be far fetched but its better to know what to do before i encounter the situation than to find eggs and then find out what to do, can anyone go through the steps on what id have to do?
 
if you do nothing the parents will eat them after hatch the rest will die and get caught in any filters or other filtration. the babies will only last a day without the proper food. you wont see them in the morning when they hatch at night and they wont ruin your tank if you do nothing.

if you want to raise the fry then do some homework on breeding.

It's does not make much sense for someone to retype one of the hundred articles on "raising clown fish fry" that can be found by searching google.
 
I agree u should give some more effort in your homework. There are plenty of threads with how to's and experiences w/different food's ETC. it's not just do this one thing and done. It is a series of steps, tanks,foods etc. good luck. It's not a simple task takes some work and knowledge. Have fun doin homework:-).
 
Sometimes selling them can be as hard as raising them. Go to your lfs & ask what they would pay you for them before you spend money on trying to raise them.
 
It's easier to acquire knowledge from people with first hand experience instead of an online article, so I figured this website was made for sharing experiences and knowledge.

true. but there is a breeding section and other websites that are dedicated to breeding and all are from breeders and not just articles.

check out a website called mofib. more info for you there than here.
