Alright thanks for the info! I guess ill be having caviar tonight lolThat's ok- I was there also and about to transfer tank contents, so I had to let them go.
However, use this as an opportunity to monitor them and see how often they are laying eggs (mine was every three weeks on a Sunday evening). Then when youre ready you can prep for them and save the eggs, etc

I recommend a med sized clay pot. You can then transfer pot with eggs into a 20l tank with sponge filter and await hatchingIn addition to the good advice from @vetteguy53081, you can use this as inspiration to think about the whole process. If they did lay eggs on a clay pipe that you added to the tank, when and how would you remove it? Where would you move it to and how would it be setup? Do you have that tank, heater, air pump, and sponge filter (or other equipment if you decide to set it up differently)? What about food for their tiny mouths? @Reef Nutrition has a great rotifer system and many sizes of food for clownfish fry. What about grow out?
Clearly you are doing some things right in the clownfish tank. If you maintain the feedings and water quality then they will likely continue to lay eggs every two to three weeks so you have time to decide how (and if) you want to move forward. If they continue to lay eggs and you do not do anything with the eggs at this point then that is perfectly okay too. Good luck and great work!
thanks guys i've been thinking about doing another system for breeding! I thought this would take a long time to happen only been in my tank for 2 months!In addition to the good advice from @vetteguy53081, you can use this as inspiration to think about the whole process.

Awesome ill be ready for the next ones! Thanks for the help everyoneMany people have the other problem of wanting their fish to breed but having uncooperative fish! Shame on you for taking such good care of your fish! ;Hilarious
The good news is the pair will likely continue to lay eggs every 2-3 weeks and will still be ready when you are!
I was thinking about raising my clown eggs too
So if I put a clay pot near my clowns by there anemone they might use it
Now that you have decided to raise fry. What will you do with 50 clown fish?

I still see about 10 eggs alive! Will these make it or only time? Also they're in a 20g nanoThis is a great question and for most people this is a real issue. @The Coral Connect (the OP) has access to retail space and online sales, but for others it is helpful to think about a plan in advance.
thanks still some alive!watching for future reference and good luck!
