Might want to think about starting another culture once the numbers get pretty high. Couldn't hurt to have a back up. Clownfish will only eat live rotifers. I have not found another way that works as well. Good luck with your saltwater fish. Keep us posted in the forums how things go. You are on the right track for sure.

Today, I sampled some of the green water and it is loaded with Rotifers! You're right, Reed is good. Also, I am using the Rotifer Diet for food. My clownfish eggs will hatch this coming Thursday night. This will be my first attempt to raise the fry with live Rotifers. From what I understand, this is the ONLY way to succeed with the fry.

The newborn clownfish are very sensitve changes in salinity, temperature, and pH so be careful that the new water is similar to the tank water. Good luck to you.

My only question right now is how often do I change the hatch tank water once the fish are born? Thank you very much for your advice.

Allow the eggs to be taken care of by the clownfish parents. When it is time for them to hatch you can either siphon out the hatching babies or move the entire rock to another tank. If you don't, the babies will most likely get sucked up by your filtration in your main tank or eaten by the other fish. They also would have a hard time finding food (rotifers) in a large volume of water. In order for the fry to survive they need to be in a separate tank. See you in the forum.

I will go to the teed-mariculture site to order what you recommended but the question we have they are currently in a reef tank with other species of fish like a yellow tang etc. Do we need to move the rock with the eggs and the anemone and the parent fish to a different tank?? will the bigger fish eat the eggs or the babies when they hatch??? I didn't want to disturb them and they look to be close to day 5 on the eggs> Can I feed as you directed above into the reef tank or will the rofiter mess up the tank or other fish. What to do??? We do have another tank with less in it but not sure we can catch the parent fish and get the anemone and rock out without harming SUGGESTIONS>>>>>> please advise we have recently discovered eggs from our lemon colored clownfish and don’t know what to do.
