Breeding Our First Clownfish Babies - From Egg to Adult | Blue Reef Tank

[@tanialimacosta]

Thanks for the video. My clownfish just layed their first eggs, and I had to "loose" them, because I wasn't ready. But I will next time!!

[@kennethwilliams4966]

One of the best videos on this topic that I’ve seen to date. Nice work.

[@FunkyPhish]

Keep them! They are so adorable! Amazing video.

[@PracticalReefer]

Great work! 👍 love the transformation by 14 days so amazing! 😮 Liking the Molly too I have started adding them to my tanks, they do a pretty good job! 👍

[@alecw4646]

Is the Molly freshwater?

[@PracticalReefer]

@@alecw4646 they are sold as freshwater, but in the wild they can live between freshwater, brackish estuaries and saltwater habitat, so they can be acclimatised to salt water

[@Alexis0uchiha]

Keep them!! They are so cute and If I were you I wouldn’t hesitate to keep oh

[@BlueReefTank]

yeah they are cute indeed. I just don't have enough space for another aquarium I'm afraid 😞

Excellent video of this experience. I breed clownfish and stumbled on this video on wanted to give you a shout out for such great footage.

[@BlueReefTank]

Thanks 🙂

[@Re5p3c7]

Amazing close ups. Thanks for sharing! I would keep them and keep making more - until you don't get attached so much to it - then starts selling them.

[@BlueReefTank]

I wish I can keep making more but the parents stopped breeding for some reason 😔

[@mitian]

I just want to say you have an Amaxong channel my friend. KZbin recommended to me so I had to check k out your videos. I love the way you shoot and edit your videos. It's truly a work of art. Your videos give me the inspiration to get out of my rut and start creating content again. Keep up the amazing work! You have a new sub.

[@BlueReefTank]

Thank you so much Brian! Good luck with your channel :D

Thanks Taylor! 😄

Incredible effect to make the video so awesome. Nice one! If you have a bigger tank then keep them. If not, get a bigger tank! Cheers!

Good one 😂

[@CarlosVinicius182]

Incredible man! You should sell them to make more lol! Congrats nice video!

[@BlueReefTank]

Thanks Carlos! That's the initial plan but the parents stopped laying eggs at the moment 😅

[@662kkchan]

Hi, could you tell me where did you got those “S” rotifers?

[@geznico2082]

Congratulations on successfully raising some clown fry... By all reports not easy.. I would like to have a go at it one day myself..

[@BlueReefTank]

You should try it. It's hard work but very rewarding 🙂

[@jjmccloud]

While your scooping method works, that seems like alot of work 😅 i like to set up a little siphon with the light pointing towards the hose opening. But there are tons of ways to do it. Looks like you got it all down, very nice!

[@2Sage-7Poets]

they're really cute 😍

[@rjclado4754]

What if there are only fish in ur tank like 2 clownfish (the parents) it is needed to transfer the fry into another tank? Or nah?

[@alecw4646]

I’m wondering the same thing

[@Alohajacklyn808]

Yes. Parents will eat them if not. And compete for food.

[@mous3y490]

when they get older, will they fight?

[@memesaddicted8452]

Which season is best for clown fish breeding?

[@BlueReefTank]

Mine breeds during the warmer season but I guess these fish breed all year round in the ocean 😅

Great job! Can you not raise them in the tank with the breeding pair? Or will they eat them?

[@НатальяБорисовна-ш3в]

Шикарное видео!!! 👍

[@yeonjoonhong9833]

can you use a sponge filter with clwonfish fry?

[@BlueReefTank]

You can't use it until they are much older (preferably once they metamorphosis). I took mine out the 2nd day after I noticed a lot of them died

[@coffeeandwealth885]

All of those eggs only 6 survive till the end?

[@call_evan]

My clown fish, they gave more than 10 times eggs, but none alive, 😢😢 what must i do, they on my larger tank, with other fish,

[@thanhdanhnguyen6049]

That's why none alive bro. You shouldn't keep clownfish in community tank if you want to breed them

[@PICASSO....]

What age can they spawning?

[@BlueReefTank]

I heard some starts spawning at the age of 2. Mine only start spawning after 5 years 😅

[@alexisdelhaugd1173]

Mine just laid eggs I just have a question what happens if I keep them in the tank when they hatch? 😬

[@Kidd94_]

How did that go ?

[@thisquietplace]

Was there a gradual die off from when the eggs hatched, or was there any steps that were more detrimental to the end result?

[@BlueReefTank]

I would say it's more about maintaining water quality as well as having available food all the time in the water column. That's really hard to achieve

[@haizellovesfood3767]

What is the life span of these fishes

[@ifixedit7909]

Awesome video, does anyone know were to get rotifers in WA? Or can send. Thank you

[@lorenzospina3174]

Great job 😉 .

[@BlueReefTank]

Thanks 😁

[@DriNassi]

So out of hundreds only those survived?

[@ijunghill7104]

How old nemo can breed??

[@beddetsoryerrrr]

2 years

[@chrishernandez9277]

Do fry need their own tank or can you just use a breeder box?

[@BlueReefTank]

Hey Chris, yes the fry will definitely need their own tank because they need to be able to feed on rotifers all the time. The holes in the breeder are too big for the fry (they'll just slip through). Hope this helps!

[@CommonChannel-c5f]

i would not go with the sponge filter until they start eating powderedfood coz it sucks up the rotifers

There’s usually lots of stuff in a reef that would be happy for a live snack. It’s the only way to ensure large-scale survival.
