After a couple attempts at raising clownfish fry, I got the process kinks worked out and currently have about 80 happy baby clowns. I'm now looking to find them good homes and offering them for free for local pickup. I've never shipped livestock before, so not sure how well they would fair.

Mom is a snowflake and dad is a traditional false percula, but I'm guessing they had some others genes given the variety of patterns in the babies (standard, snowflake, and all-white bodies)

Please PM me if interested. They are ~1-1.5 inches in size and eating small pellet/frozen food. They are about 2 months old at this point.

I'm located in central Florida (Orlando area).

Your title made me laugh. How far are you from St. Augestine? I'll be there for vacay in a few weeks.

Either way, you have some gorgeous fish. As much as I'd love free fishies, have you considered selling to a LFS or bartering with one for more supplies?

Congratulations on your breeding success! Raising the larva is not trivial and takes a lot of consistent time and effort, Kudos!
Thanks! This was a labor of love (and two kids who have been wanting me to try this for some time haha )
