Before I get too crazy asking how can I raise these to maturity, are these fertilized eggs?



If so, how do I raise them? Haha

The fish have bread multiple times over the past month, so I suppose they are happy!
 
Raising clownfish is a main display is near impossible, they need to be in a tank all by themselves. The systems for raising fry have little to no flow to prevent them from being pulled down the drain. If the eggs hatch in the main tank with other fish they will become food and be gone in seconds. I had a buddy that did it and it was a lot of work since they always hatched at night.
 
The male had fertilized the eggs when the female laid them. He’s now caring for the eggs by airating them. In all likelihood those are viable eggs.
Your challenge is going to be either to use a fry catcher in your main tank or retraining your clowns to lay eggs on an easily movable surface like tile or a flower pot.
Then you get into raising the fry and culturing live rotifers.
 
My clowns seem to be doing the exact same thing but I don't see any eggs. What can I expect? My clown fishes spot even simulated very closely to that in the video.
