Hey, everyone!
I would like to share my journey breeding Ocellaris clownfish that I have had in the last 5 years.
This experience was my first time doing this so, you can imagine how much research and videos I watched to try to get it right. In this article, I’m going to explain what I did to...
Hello,
About a week ago we had an outbreak of marine velvet in our QT tank - we believe it came from adding snails to our tank. We quickly lost a mustard tang and a BS Jawfish.
Within hours we set up our hospital tank and started treated with copper and metro. We have 2 clowns, 1 angel, 3 PJ...
Hey everyone,
I have a clownfish pair that just laid their first eggs today (or at least first time I've noticed). I've read a bit about raising the fry, I'm thinking about giving it a try but it also sounds intimidating.
Does anyone have any advice on how to move forward if I decide to try...
My pair have decided to make a fort around their Goni it’s about 3” high and encircles their Goni lol. I gave up shaking out the welso and Goni they keep getting mad and making the fort bigger while kicking sand on em lol. I had a terracotta bottom in there for when she lays eggs…. It’s buried...
I thought I share this video of my clown fish pair (Big Mama and Nemo X) spawning .... was not ready for this, so I will leave them be.... Happen to take a look at their tank last night and caught them in the act. Only had my phone without filters so not the best video but still pretty cool...
Hi.
Recently my clownfish decided to breed and so far (day 10) the little clownfish look pretty good.

I am trying to grow them for the first time and I have a question for experienced breeders.
What is your fry feeding schedule like?
i.e.:
How long have you been feeding...
Is this nesting behavior? She’s never shown a bit of interest in the sinularia in over 2 years. Now she’s hosting it like it’s an anemone and has a particular interest in the little hole in the middle of the zoathids. She’s even pecking at some of them. She’s also a giant ****** when you put...
Clownfish have long been one of the most popular fish and considered to be one of the best starter fish in the marine aquarium trade. Advances in culturing techniques have allowed commercial farms in the US and around the world to grow thousands of clownfish each year for the marine ornamentals...
Just had a baby clown die at 23 days. I was under the impression that everything was safe at this point.
Does anyone know what the cause could be? I'd like to avoid any more deaths.
I've checked the water parameters and they all look good. Multiple filters and airstones as well, so there should...
My beloved pair of Gold Nugget maroon clowns gave me a nice batch of eggs after 3 years. Dad took wonderful care of them over the last week, cleaning and aerating them. I watched their development and we moved them last night on hatching night, and we have about 50 hatched so far! All swimming...
Hello everyone. I’m new to this site. And I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about this community. So here’s my first question. Has anyone here tried SPAWN AID. By tropical science? I’m hoping to breed my clownfish and I had a couple local hobbyist bring it up.
thanks for all the feedback.
I have these two clownfish who have been in the same tank for about a month and at first their pairing habits weren’t worrisome but now it’s getting a little worrying. My WW clown runs the tank while my vivid stays hidden in a crevasse under a rock until the lights turn out and comes out to...
I had a large female ocellaris clownfish by herself for about a month and added a much smaller ocellaris clownfish about 5 months ago. Back when the larger female had a "bonded" male (before he passed away), they would be next to each other all the time. While the female did not kill the new...
Hi! I have a 20 gallon species tank for ocellaris clownfish. Currently I am looking into getting a longfin mocha, I just love the way they look. My other clown is a 2 year old mocha female.
In the future I would love to breed them. Is the gene that causes long fins dominant or recessive? What...
My girlfriend has expressed interest in breeding clownfish and raising babies. I jumped at the opportunity to get her more involved with this hobby way of life!
I am looking for current/updated information on clownfish breeding and anything relevant. I have found a pretty thorough article on the...
So, I have been having a problem with both Clownfish pairs eggs never hatching. After about day 8-10, they just eat their eggs when they are all silver and you can see their eyes.
About 6 months or so of egg laying 3x a month or more, and they never hatch. I have 2 breeding pair of Blue...
