No only live rotifers will work. You might get a 1 out of 1000 will survive with something else but very slim chances. Clownfish need the nutrients in the rotifers to develop.

HELP! babies just hatched, they have rotofers in the tank, a heater with air stone under it so they don’t hang out to close and cood themselves. they are all at the bottome of the tank, is this bad? they jump up then nose dive and they are only an hour or so old. the water is the water from the tank they hatched in when we siphend them, 10 gallon tank, water temp, ph, salinity and everything is good. are they supposed to lie on the bottom?

Feed your clownfish one time per day with different foods including a good flake food, frozen fish food such as mysis shrimp, and pellet food.

I am on my 6th attempt at percula fry. I have come to realize that the live rotifer is going to be the best (and only) bet in keeping them alive and growing. I have an order of live rotifers coming from livebrineshrimp.com before the eggs hatch on Friday night. What can I purchase at the LFS to keep the rotifers alive and multiplying?

Please ask questions in the forum at http://www.breedclownfish.com/forum

You do not need to move everything to another tank. 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.

we have recently discovered eggs from our lemon colored clownfish and don’t know what to do. 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
