Rearing clownfish larvae


Recommended Posts

Hi bros,

Need some advices on the rearing clownfish larvae.

I just realized that my clownfish has spawned and I am hoping to try my luck to rear those clownfish larvae. However, I don't have the space for a separate larvae tank.

1. Is it possible to rear them in my cheato refugium in my sump tank (if I reduce flow to the refugium). I am wondering if the live pods can be good food source for them.

2. Does adult clownfish eat the larvae? Because I have one adult clownfish in the refugium now (it is a poor fish kena bullied by the clownfish parents in the main tank. If yes, then I may need to give it away...

Thank you!

Regards,
Jeff

If u have not prepared to raise the larvae, sorry but u are already too late. Best opinion now is let the be nurtitious food for ur other tank members. Good news is they will probably lay eggs again in 2 weeks to a month time. Thus start preparing if u plan to rear them. There are lots of articles on how to rear them from legs to juvenile clown.
