What is the minimum size of tank for breeding clownfish2007-11-24 23:12:03

i will no longer ask this question if you give me the right answer i can't find it on the internet thanx

Answers:

depends on what species of clown. If you get percula clownfish (same as ocellaris just perculas are born in captivity) you can get away with a 30-40 gallon tank. From ALL of your previous posts i know this is the fish you are thinking of. If you want to have success breeding them you will have to buy a breeding pair. Clownfish for the most part only have one mate for their life so just buying a male and female doesnt mean they will breed. If you buy a breeding pair you know these fish have already had babies together so you know they should mate again. I would also reccomend not having any other fish in the tank this way they feel comfortable to breed and not feel there are any predators. Once they do have the babies you will need a seperate tank to house the parents in or the babies so the babies do not get eaten. here is a site that may put you in the right direction. READ IT and do more research on your own. Everyone does things differently and you will have to find what works for you and dont get discouraged if thiongs dont work out the way you planned. http://www.reefsuk.org/articles/captiveb...


Clownfish is a salt water fish ?

Salt water tanks are hard to maintain at smaller tank sizes, for salt water fish you need a larger tank I would say at least 30 gallons to 55 gallons, you also will need to cycle the aquiriam, checking you got the correct salt water mix, ph, ammoina levels and so on, you will need a good filter, water heater system, also adding coral would be a good idea.

Clown Fish are pretty good starter fish for a salt water tank.


For a breeding pair, no less than 75 gallons. Don't forget you need space for coral and live anemones. If the clowns don't have a comfortable environment, they will not breed.
A 30 gallon tank that has cycled but there is no guarantee the clowns will breed
