To raise clownfish fry, you will need to have some tiny live food available, (preferably rotifers). It is very hard to do this in a display tank setting. Usually, need to set up a bare-bottom tank with just the parents so you can do water changes since the frequent feedings make the water dirty. There is a good book on Clownfish by Joyce Wilkerson (sp?) or someone like that.

Hi Polo,

As Anthony suggested, pickup the following book. It is an invaluable source of information for a first time clownfish breeder.
I would suggest to not worry to much about the first batch of eggs. You have a lot of reading and preparing to do first..
