Mated Clownfish Question?

dmusser · 07-24-2005, 05:07 PM

Is there anything special that needs to be done with a mated pair of clownfish in regards to getting them to procreate? With that said, if they do reproduce they need a separate aquarium at any point in the reproduction cycle?

A cheap bottle of wine.

I'm sorry, I have no idea. I am sure someone will jump in and good luck with them.

I don't know all the details, hope others will chime in. I do know SOME important things are:

Security. They need to feel safe enough to procreate. So if they're getting picked on, or there's any predatory (in their eyes) fish in the tank, they'll be less likely.

I know moon lights help prompt other critters to procreate...imagine clowns are no different.

Chemically, the water needs to be in really good shape for a good length of time.

Others will have more.
