Mmmmm.... caviar!

Actually there are a lot of clownfish breeders around that can probably help. I haven't bred them myself, but I believe you'll want a separate tank, and I think many people use flower pots in the rearing tank for shelter and bacterial growth. You'll also need a steady supply of live food (rotifers I believe).

This is all based on what I've read, so maybe someone can jump in and elaborate on this a bit more.

Congrats and Good Luck!! You must have phyto and rotifers to feed the babies when they hatch. After 7 or 8 days , you should try to catch the babies and put them into a separate area. My clowns had laid about 14 different batches of eggs and I got about 12 babies only so far. The proper way is to remove the eggs from the parents, but I didn't. Good Luck again!
