SRC Member clownfish_forever Posted March 7, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted March 7, 2014 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!

SRC Member jc85 Posted March 9, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted March 9, 2014 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.
