trying my hand at breeding clowns

[Eienna]

You could try New Life Spectrum's marine or small fish formula next time around...

It sounds like they either came down with something or became constipated from something they were eating...

I got a book on breeding i could sell for $20 ? Its a aquarium handbook from beginner to breeder

Sorry to hear about your clown. It sounds like you were very attached to it.

yeah he was my little buddy for 16+ years and the kids loved him too, now he sleeps in our yard;(

How is your breeding venture coming along? I have been wanting to try this experiment out but I'm afraid I don't have enough patience. Did you get a final setup? If so, what is it? I want to make my first clown breeding experience as smooth as possible.

why so low salinity and so high temp? I have 3 pair breeding now at 81* and 1.022 salinity .Even the lights are on too long. maybe you're trying to hard.

I ran mine at 1.022-1.024 with temp being 82 with a 14 hour light cycle. They spawned religiously every 12 days like that.
