If you really want to raise the fry, you'll need to set up a separate breeding tank with a simple sponge filter, bare bottom & clay pot. The odds of successfully raising clownfish fry in a community tank is much less than 1 percent. Also, you'll need to raise live rotifers as their first food (starting the feeding regimen a couple days after hatch when they exhaust their yolk sac). When they get bigger, you can switch them over to cyclopeeze. This is a time-consuming, labour intensive process but it would be very rewarding if you are successful. I would write-off this first batch & get ready for next time, if you really want to try.
