I've been in the hobby for almost 13 years and this is the first time I've ever had saltwater fish (clownfish) lay eggs!
I've had this pair for 3 years now and they have moved with me to various systems. I'm pretty surprised because this system is barely 6 months old. Even though many of us buy 2 clownfish in hopes they pair off, its amazing to see them breed 'naturally' in the system instead of intentionally breeding them in a separate tank - if that makes sense.
I understand that I would need rotifers to feed the fry after removing the eggs and adding them to another container. Luckily the shell they laid the eggs on isn't glued on the rock so I can simply remove it. My question is: Can I put the eggs in the sump in one of those guppy breeder boxes (plastic or netted). Also, can I buy live rotifers and feed them multiple times a day? Because I know I wont keep up with maintaining a rotifer culture lol.
Any who I'm so thrilled that my clownfish laid eggs - it feels like an accomplishment in the hobby!
PS. I`m not as mad at my clownfish for being bullies now that they are parents - haha.
