Milky Way Galaxy,
How do you get them to start? It's a 55gallon tank and from them I know witch 2 are paired up. I know anemone will help. What kind do they prefer? And how would you keep the fry alive?


Mods: I would like to keep this in the Genral Salt cause of the anemone Tips

First off, go to the coral section and read the sticky on clownfish compatibility.

You will no what kind you need. They also usually need a rock (flat surfaces are recommended) to clean and lay the eggs on. Other than that, give them clean water, and a good diet. Then its just a matter of time.

The clownfish pair that we keep in my lab breed...fairly frequently. Pairing is the hardest part.

they mate when they want, all you can do is make them comfortable, I have seen them drop eggs on the tank walls so giving them a place to lay isnt that important. Either they will or they wont not much else to be done.

I hear playing some Barry White while the lights are off can help...
