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

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