Looking at breeding Nemo's

[Thorn7584]

They are beautiful fish and no one around me can manage to get them. I will have 2 tomorrow and i know it can be years before they breed but im wondering i have brineshrimp but people are talking about rotifers. Where can i get rotifers? Do i need them?

You only need Rotifers once they start spawning. Then if they spawn in your tank you need to be able to collect the larvae, place them into another small tank with a small heater and air line. Then you need green water or instant algae and Rotifers. Once they get to about 7 days then you can give them baby brine less that 24 hours old.

Do some research, if you think its for you get some books. It's very interesting but very time consuming.

You can get Rotifers from reefculture.

Instant algae? That might be easier for now. Can i put the babies into a breeding net/cage? Where would i get the instant Algae from? Cheers for your help

I have seen instant algae in a few lfs, usually in the fridge in a bottle.
It will likely be a fair bit easier with that than having to grow phyto. Then again, that is also part of the fun :p

No, breeding cage or net isn't any good. The only flow you need is from a slow bubbling air line. Get a 30cm cube or two and blacken the outside completely or a round black tub. You need these for the larvae, the another tank or three for growout.

Do a google search, IA is good, but it's very expensive.

I wouldn't be worrying about it yet, your clowns may never spawn. If they start, you can get everything then

Hi Great to see some new excitement about breeding
My advice is read read read
And once you have tried or are about to try ask for a few pointers
mofib is a great place
Cheers Ben

Hi Thorn.

A lot of discussion on the front page in another thread. SO rather than double up. Check out:

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'd been trying to find a place to get Rotifers from and Reef Culture is exactly what I needed to find
