    I don't know if there is another part of the forum that has this but.. I bought anoter clownfish from the same guy I had bought my first... which were mated together when I sadly had to separate them because of funds.. but now back together there super happy swimming around together.. but the guy at the shop said if I can breed and get the fry to be at least 1/4" he will buy them off of me for 10$ each.. or 20$ store credit.. so I could get the money necessary to fund my reef tank by breeding so any advice is very welcoming.. I know I'm going to lose this first batch of fry.. there are eggs already laid in there new home (my 55gallon freshwater has been trasnfered to my saltwater.. nitrogen cycle has not yet run so I am knowing i might lose everything) All I was wondering.. is if anyone knows any tips to getting the fry and raising them I have a 29 gallon and a 10 gallon tank I can make into the fry tanks. I also have 300$to spend on supplies to start the breeding process successfully but I won't be starting for 2-3months (Letting the tank cycle for sure!) Just getting details and such sorry for such a long post.. just need info, I am new to this hobby but in the future wish to open my own reef shop... since there is only 1 within 150miles of where I live and he has regular reefers in his shop (Along with me) And I would be willing to cut them better deals possibly on the count of growing and breeding everyhing myself.. this is what interest me about the hobby the most, so thanks again in advance (I don't wanna tourcher my pet fishys.. there so pretty thats why I'm askig for advice in advane before attempting it.. plus if its to difficult I'll stick to the saving 20$ a payday technique till I can afford lights lol!) Thanks again- Brandon
