[im_a_tidyman]

another thread!!...in my tank i have a BTA, pair of clowns, cleaner shrimp, hermits and snails, xenia, leather and a few mushrooms. if my clowns decide to breed, could i raise them in this tank?? thanks for your help again!!

the young will almost never survive a display tank. a rearing tank should be set up for them when they hatch. fishiness will have to chime in here because i dont know the specifics of setting up the proper rearing tank.

Hi guys.
I've done all of this before, and I'm still doing it, or at least hope to really get going again. I just need to get that first batch grown-up, but time and some bad luck has kept me from raising my first batch of Tomato Clowns to adulthood. I've gotten one little guy to 17 days (past all the critical stages) before, though, when the heater stuck ;(
So, I'll be able to help you out with all you need to know and have to breed clowns succesfully.

I'm growing my own greenwater and rotifers, and that in itself has taken a few months to get right. Now they're flourishing, and it's not *that* time consuming or expensive. While you aren't using the greenwater or rotifers, you can get away with no effort for 6 weeks, and you can just get everything in order again before the fry comes.

But let's start at the beginning. You need a breeding pair in a suitable aquairum. I've written a little article on breeding clownfish, which I'll include in the articles section (Click here (http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=110340)). Read through that, and feel free to ask me about anything you may want to know.

I could also supply you with greenwater and rotifer starting cultures, and help you with the how-to of getting it to flourish. If I seem to ignore a question, feel free to PM me - maybe I just missed it.

Waiting your questions ;)
