Wink New mating pair of clowns..

Hi everyone...I have just obtained a pair of clowns..I am told they are false percs..They guy I got them from says they have spawn a few times, he didnt really tell me anything other than that..SO I am wondering if someone could maybe get me started on the spawning stuff..Do I need certain things in the tank?.Temp difference?..I have wanted to try this out, and now I have the fish, I need some much appreciated info on any part of it..I read a few of the threads here about the fry ect..but they mostly start after the eggs are laid, and I am new to it, so I dont really understand alot of that part...

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, any info is good info for me..
HAPPY REEFING!!!

Take a look at this thread. She gets very detailed about her clowns so I am sure it will be a great help.

Re: New mating pair of clowns..

Get Joyce Wilkerson's book, Clownfish. It has been a great reference for me!

A temp of 80-82 is best. If it is lower, the eggs and fry develop much slower than average.

Re: New mating pair of clowns..

they have been cleaning the glass? That usually means they are cleaning it to lay eggs on. My fingers are crossed for you!
