Great information, I've been wanting also to breed clowns, after seeing Sanjay thread. That is probably another person to reach out to for information. Goodluck, and let us know how its going step-by-step.

First off, I'd advise that you don't bust your ass trying to save this batch. Don't worry, once your clowns get going, assuming that they are maintained in good condition, they'll pop out another batch a few days to a week after the first hatches.

Write this batch off. Get your food cultures established, get everything ready, and then, when you're ready, try and raise a batch.

Agree all the advice above. In case you haven't sen it, here is sanjay's article about his experience just to give you an idea of whats involved:

thanks everyone, especially sanjay and mr. softy. i now know i have to focus on the food and the food's food (rotifers and algae). it just sucks i have to abandon this first batch.

 

[Mr. Softy]

No problem. Let me know when you get it perfected and i'll try to collect some eggs from mine for you to try out.

No worry, you'll have more fry than you know what to do with. The second clutch of eggs will most likely be laid and fertilized two to three days after the first batch hatch.

The first batch should hatch approximately nine days after they were laid.

On the ninth day, two to three hours after lights out, if you take a flashlight to the tank, you should see the fry swimming around.

Mine have been doing this like clockwork for almost six years.

Good luck with them.
