raising babies

[a.fool.for.fish.]

i was wondering how to get babys to live like what to feed them and how to take care of them. i really want to know what to feed them for a period of time till theylee eat regular food.

[a.fool.for.fish.]

also how long is the average time for a pair of clowns to start to spawn

umm


ok ill bite

for the first question ill assume clowns as the 2nd question refers to clowns. a super quick rundown
#1 get them to hatch
#2 get them to eat rotifers
#3 get them to eat bbs & cyclopseze
#4 get them to eat flake/frozen/pellets ....

the amount of time depends on which clowns

for the 2nd question
bout a year + or - a year!!!

buy a breeding pair and you can get lucky and have breeding clowns in a month but expect more like 6months to a year all over again.

now read the stickies on the clown & anemone forums

what didnt i answer without leaving a quesiton for you !!!!

how long do feed them rotifers

[rsman]

I like to feed them rotifers well into when they are eating brine shrimp and cyclopseeze however

the amount of time depends on which clowns

a wild guess comes out to something like this
between about 3 and 14 days

thats a big difference and requires you to tell us which clowns.

but as a general rule it works out to as soon as they are eating the brine/cyclopseeze + a few days to allow the smallest of fry to catch up.

for some reference one of the stickies points you to => http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...hreadid=240158
