Way to go :D

Those pics are cool :cool:

The only suggestions I have are reading Wilkerson's book and Moe's book has a good section on breeding.

Good luck with the next go round ;)

Congrats
Great photos...
Now for hep in raising clown fry
go out and get joyce wilkersons book on clownfish. Its a great resource for how-tos. Dauphine faustins "FIELD GUIDE TO ANEMONE FISHES AND THEIR HOST SEA ANEMONES" book is available online http://biodiversity.uno.edu/ebooks/intro.html, its a fantastic read for background but doesn't cover the groundwork like joyce w's book. Congrats and get the rotifers growing.

Thanks guys,
I already have Joyce Wilkerson's book, got it a couple months ago just in case. This spawning just took me totally by surprise! The problem now is to figure out where I can put another tank to raise fry! The 80 gal has produced 4 offspring tanks for Banggai fry, Mantis and hitchhiker crabs, and misc other fish, plus have about 8 freshwater tanks! Guess I need to order in some rotifer and see if I can keep a culture going.
Thanks!
