I just noticed my clownfish spawned for the first time, and naturally, like every ones first go around with this, I'd like to maximize their chances of surviving.

The timing couldn't have been better, because I moved all my corals, and other fish to a new tank upgrade, but decided to the clownfish in their existing tank for the time being. The idea was that I'd add a couple more fish to the new system before introducing the clowns.

I don't know exactly when the eggs where laid and fertilized, I don't have rotifers right now. But can I go to the lfs, pick up some rotifers, turn off the main return pump and let them do their thing? Or is there something more I should do?
 
Yeah there's quite a bit more to raising clowns than just adding rotifers. The breederregistry.org is a good place to start. It's a lot of work, but can be fun too. Good luck
 
Yeah, i’ve watched and read other peoples experiences with this. Figured why not try.
