Re: How can i starting breeding clownfish?

I would go to Amazon or someplace similar and read get Conditioning, Spawning, and Rearing of Fish with an emphasis on Marine Clownfish by Frank Hoff. If you are setting up for serious breeding and not casual, and it seems you are, this book will take you through all steps. And 15 gallons is the low end for a breeding tank, so 20L seems iffy to me

Hoff ran one of the first marine hatcheries, Instant Ocean

Looks good to me!


I HIGHLY suggest these books to anyone wanting to rear baby fish:

Clownfishes, Joyce Wilkerson
Plankton Culturing Manual, Frank Hoff & Terry Snell
Conditioning, Spawning and Rearing of Fish, Frank Hoff
