So, are you looking for information on raising them?....

I would look into buying the book "Clownfishes" by Wilkerson(sp?). Great book (from what I have heard) I have ordered it as a present to myself

Joyce's book is excellent. Very easy to read and good information.

If you want a little more thorough info on how to breed them you should definately read Frank Hoff's book on clownfish. Definately a must have.

Thanks!
I think I am too late for this batch of eggs. But I am going to try to raise the fry soon...

don't worry about it too much. as long as you don't disturb the pair and everything goes well your clowns should spawn pretty frequently.

There are also some good links in the "FAQ" thread at the top of this forum that you should check out. Best of luck raising the fry!
