Good Luck Josie!
I've often thought about raising a brood from my Fire Clowns, but then I remember I already have 3 tanks and living in Powell River I would have to ship the grown babies.

UPDATE:

the babies did not make it... well it's not really a big surprise, it's our first try at this and we were not that prepare, my husband was too quick deciding to do this before getting all the equipment :rolleyes:

But next month we will be better installed and will try again :)
