 Re: breeding clownfish
When you see a silvery appearance on the eggs you're 2 or 3 days from the hatch. You'll need a 10 gal.(not 20) tank with all sides blacked out, a good culture of rotifers, a heater, an airstone and a light. The larvae will start to hatch out at about a half hour to an hour after lights out. You can then syphon them with airline tubing from the DT to the larval tank. Don't have the larval tank too much lower than the DT because you want to syphon them out gently. After you do this it is time to feed them. They need to eat right away and rotifers are the only first food for them if you want any success at all. The rotifers contain the necessary digestive enzymes that the larvae lack. E-mail me for some other tips when you get to this point. Good luck.
