Icon13 Possible Percula Clown Spawing.. Need help.

My two clowns were purchased at the same time, from the same tank and acclimated then placed in the tank at the same time. The at first were a little apprehensive of each other, but over time, started getting closer and closer. Now I see them both in the Corner of the tank Shaking/Dancing with each other, and doing the same to clear a small indent in the sand much like a bed. I know I may wake up one morning and find a patch of eggs hopefully not partially eaten. Now my question is..:

What do I do if I do wake up one morning and find a patch of eggs. E.G: Where to place them, what/how to feed them, lighting, temperature, all the thing you would need to know in order to raise successful "fry" even though I hate that word lol.

Thanks for your time everyone, look forward to hearing your responses.

Tony

Thank you Dustin for the link. I read over it and it has some very helpful information. I will update this thread if they do end up spawning.

No problem i looked into breeding some myself a couple years ago and had no luck at all the rotifer colony was not availible to me at the time. If i was you and your clowns are breeding I would let the first couple batches do their thing untill you are ready to accomidate them. HOPE YOU THE BEST OF LUCK!!

Yea, if they do lay eggs then immediately I have to go to my LFS and notify them about stocking rotifers and the food that they eat too. And yes I plan on leaving them in their original location until the night before hatching. Then swapping them to the Fry tank and starting the rotifer diet. Again thanks for everything.
