Clownfish Breeding

[Scousereefer]

Good Afternoon from the UK!

My tank has finally cycled and I have added a beautiful pair of Clownfish(mocha + OG) that look just about the size to start breeding.(please see attached and let me know what you think).

My plans are to buy a good sized anemone and a couple of corals soon to make them feel more comfortable.

I am looking for some advice and tips/tricks to set them up for success, any info will be more than welcome

when you say breeding, do you mean you want to raise the fry? Its easy to set up a love nest and they'll probably eventually hook up, but raising the fry is not easy. It requires a seperate tank to raise them , and another tank to raise rotifiers to feed the fry.

Yeah I want to raise the fry, I have another small tank to use to put the fry in and with rotifers could I not use two small containers ?

Any tips on setting up a love nest

If you can get an anenome that vibrates a little and spins around in a circle, I know that's what they do in the Austin Powers movies.

Keep things consistent and feed them well. Mine have been laying eggs in a pretty set cycle for a few months now. But as others have said raising them is the real challenge. I have yet to set up a blacked out 10gal tank and the food cultures (rotifers, etc..)
