Breeding Saltwater fish

[PredatoryFishMagazine]

It's not hard to get them to mate if you provide the proper settup and good water conditions. It's raising the fry that's the hard part.

theres a good book by joyce wilkerson called oddly enough "Clownfishes" book has everything you need to know about the difficult task of breeding and growing out clowns

I highly recommend this book also. It's the same book I use as a reference when I need to double check something about my maroon clowns.

i have a pair of percula clowns in a 26 right now and asked around about breeding them. short answer was that the fry are very hard to keep alive and feed. but they will breed constantly.

it's hard to keep the fry alive
because u need a constant sourse of
food
they feed primarily on plankton " live"

so you need a constant supply of planton
if you go to seaworld in cali u can ask to see
their warehouse where they raise all sorts of marine
fish

when i open my saltwater store they gave me a tour!
they had catsharks ..(their pups)
mandarin gobys
a million clown.. all types

pretty interesting stuff

the fry are very fragile eh? is it difficult to get the adults to mate?

Naw, a little candlelight and champagne...

breeding cardinals is pretty easy. they are mouth brooders and come out decent sized eating baby bring shrimp! and they're easy to sex too!
