Breeding

[AaronOB82]

What's up guys! I literally just got done setting up my 10 gallon breeding tank for my clowns. I have a couple questions for you guys!

-How many times a day do I feed them, and what do I feed them?
-What should my my specific gravity and salinity be?
-What should i have my temperature be set at?

If you guys could send your feedback from previous or current experience, I would love to hear what you guys have to say!

Are you talking about for the babies or the breeding parents? You need to feed the parents a mixture of fresh and live foods like brine shrimp and Mysis shrimp as well as fresh seafood. The Babies, first time feeding larvae need live rotifers and after they get a little bigger you can start introducing baby brine shrimp and small copepods. I'm no expert but I would say temp at 78 and salinity at about 1.023-1.025. But either way nothing has to be spot on, just consistent.
If you want to breed saltwater fish first you have to (unless you have the money t spend) culture phytoplankton so you can culture rotifers so you can feed your fish larvae. It can be a process for sure. I am getting things together to try and start breeding Royal Grammas.
