Breeding Saltwater Fish - I know wishful thinking, but we gotta start somewhere. Hopefully we can share what we know and learn to improve the chances of other hobbyists routinely breeding saltwater fish!

Breeding Clown fish

Can anyone explain the breeding process of this type of clown fish? This pair has been together for about 2 years.....My son recently brought this tank to me and said they were a breeding pair but knows nothing about it...Also, which one is the boy? I'm assuming the one with less black because he is smaller....

I can't give you advice on getting them to breed but the smaller of the 2 will be the male.

I have a mated pair of Maroon clownfish. The breeding process is like all other egg laying fish. Getting them to start laying eggs is the bigger question. Have they laid eggs yet ?

I have not seen them lay eggs yet.....The only thing I have noticed is the bigger one (which must be the female) gets a big tummy every now and then and then it goes away....I thought maybe it was just fat.....Where would I find the eggs? They are the only 2 in a 60 gallon tank besides a yellow tang.....

They lay their egg on the live rock. The male will clean it for a few day right before the female starts laying them.
