- Breeding Our First Clownfish Babies - From Egg to Adult | Blue Reef Tank
In this week's episode, I am sharing something very special - the entire breeding process of my first Clownfish babies. My Clownfish pair finally started breeding (after 5 years) and it was such a rewarding experience to witness the transformation from egg laying, egg hatching, and metamorphosis of the larvae into Juvenile Clownfish.
I tried my best to record the whole process and I hope you enjoy watching these cute Clownfish babies.
At this time, I am still unsure what should I do with them - Do you think I should keep them or sell them? Let me know your thoughts in the comment section.

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!!
That was an incredible process. Thank you for such an interesting video!
u are my best saltwater channel.Good Job and thank you share for every frame.
Keep them! They are so adorable! Amazing video.
One of the best videos on this topic that I’ve seen to date. Nice work.
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! 👍
Is the Molly freshwater?
@@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
they're really cute 😍
Love this! Thank you for sharing! Keep them!
:) I will have a think about it
keep🧡
Шикарное видео!!! 👍
Wonderful fish...and good job 😍👏👏
Thank you! :)
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.
Thanks 🙂
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.
I wish I can keep making more but the parents stopped breeding for some reason 😔
Thanks for sharing this amazing video...
Thank you for watching 🙂
Very cool impressive shots! Great video :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 😂
Keep them!! They are so cute and If I were you I wouldn’t hesitate to keep oh
yeah they are cute indeed. I just don't have enough space for another aquarium I'm afraid 😞
@@BlueReefTank I"LL SEND U ANOTHER AQUARIUM OMG THEY HAVE LIL SMILES
Nah sell them and get the bag 💰
Really Nice video thanks for sharing! If you can I will keep them!
😄 👍 Thank you for watching
Incredible video as always
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Amazing video
Congratulations on successfully raising some clown fry... By all reports not easy.. I would like to have a go at it one day myself..
You should try it. It's hard work but very rewarding 🙂
Incredible man! You should sell them to make more lol! Congrats nice video!
Thanks Carlos! That's the initial plan but the parents stopped laying eggs at the moment 😅
keep ‘em!
Great job 😉 .
Thanks 😁
I just want to say you have an Amaxong channel my friend. RUclips 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.
Thank you so much Brian! Good luck with your channel :D
@@BlueReefTank True. I've subscribed too.
Amazing!
Thanks!
Nice video! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👍💪
Thanks! 👍
好动的小BB👍
Thank you 😄
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!
Cảm ơn bạn!
Thankyou!!! 🙂🙂🙂
Great job! Can you not raise them in the tank with the breeding pair? Or will they eat them?
❤❤
I support anything cultured in the hobby. We need to include as many species as possible
Totally agree with you :)
Keep them 💪🏾
😉 Will find a space for them
👍🏾
Great job! I currently have about 800 in grow out.so addicting
That's awesome! Do you sell them?
Yup. I will be
Awesome video, does anyone know were to get rotifers in WA? Or can send. Thank you
wow
:)
Where do you get the rotifers
Hi, could you tell me where did you got those “S” rotifers?
I wish to do same project
Was there a gradual die off from when the eggs hatched, or was there any steps that were more detrimental to the end result?
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
So cute but how could the black molly survive in saltwater?
I drip acclimated them over 24 hours :)
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?
I’m wondering the same thing
Keep them!!
😉👍
keep them!
can you use a sponge filter with clwonfish fry?
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
Keep them! :-)
😁
All of those eggs only 6 survive till the end?
ALWAYS KEEP THEM and donate if any person who is keeping him/her well
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,
i would not go with the sponge filter until they start eating powderedfood coz it sucks up the rotifers
Yes you are right. It was only the first day that I use the sponge filter. From second day onwards, I only use the normal tubing that I set on low-medium :)
@@BlueReefTank Sry for the late reply but was the light on 24 hrs set on low and the tank covered on all side with black?
Mine just laid eggs I just have a question what happens if I keep them in the tank when they hatch? 😬
How did that go ?
How old nemo can breed??
Do fry need their own tank or can you just use a breeder box?
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!
congratulations! A real fishdad!
👴
Which season is best for clown fish breeding?
Mine breeds during the warmer season but I guess these fish breed all year round in the ocean 😅
@@BlueReefTank can I breed clown fish in Coolest weather like Nov, Dec, jan?
What is the life span of these fishes
I want bay it if you have any pier bro
Where are the others😢?
What age can they spawning?
I heard some starts spawning at the age of 2. Mine only start spawning after 5 years 😅
So out of hundreds only those survived?
harem tank !
😄 Great idea
How long can they be kept together before they fight?
They have always been fighting but never got too serious so I just leave them be 😅
@@BlueReefTank they fight just to see who become female in the future as they grow so u can keep them together
☝this
Thanks guys was under the impression you should only ever have 2 clowns but if from the same family I guess it's good
@@felixlynch7327 no it’s probably but there going to be a lot of fighting and it don’t matter if there from the same family they would still kill but not these maroons
What kind of clownfish are they
They look like standard oscillaris
@@funnyman695 there cute 😍
The real life Clownfish eggs looks different than in the Finding Nemo movie?
I have a doubt … of that many fry’s … like hundreds and hundreds … only these few survived?
From the hundreds of babies, only a small precent survive. Propably in nature these only would survive
Keep them
I sold them all unfortunately 😬
Keep them and sell other hatchings
No more hatchlings unfortunately :(
How much time did it took for the women clownfish to get pregnat?
It took mine 5 years but I heard they start to mature around 2 years
@@BlueReefTank oh... okay cool thanks for the information and keep with the good videos they help alot
@@BlueReefTank yeah thats why I don’t breed them that much I only breed dattybacks and more but good job man
@@tomassilveira4300 Thanks 👍
@@Angel-cp3zo Thanks mate
So, the young you keep will stay until they are old enough to join their family.
Out of like a thousand only 6 lived
Yeah, it's not as easy as some freshwater fish 🥲
@@BlueReefTankthank you for replying and answering
NEMO
Keep them don't separate a family
Keep them, if you want to sell then let these guys make babies and then sell those babies but not this Batch
Keep them
They've gone to a better home 🙃
