Clowns have eggs, now what?


My ten year old clowns now have a clutch of eggs, and I haven't the foggiest. I've heard that's the easy part, don't even know where to start. You can imagine my surprise when I accidentally discovered the little carpet on the back of a clamshell!!! don't even know how mature they are. I don't think isolation is a problem, 66 gal. tank, with only one other fish, a damsel. Have a few anemone, some stars, 2 cucumbers, a variety of schrimp, and 2 anemone crab. anyone know how long before I get hatchlings?

the damsel will eat them... and if you have any flow at all they will be whisked into the filter

usually, if you are not prepared for them they will not survive. if your clowns have laid then they will probably start doing it on a regular basis so you may want to set up a breeding setup or just let them go...

I agree with Ryan, You have to be ready for them and have a nursery and live foods ready for them,
