depneds on the place buying them and the seller. but in most cases around 6 months. could be a bit mroe could be a bit less depending on type of clown.
i'm breading more to have somthing to trade and for fun not really to sell. the cost and time involoved makes selling clowns rather non proffitable IMO unless your doing it large scale.

well in the grand scale of things my rate is very poor. i will be happy with atleast a 50 % survival. right now i think i'm about 25%-30%.
each time we do it we have more and more. i pic up our fourth try tomorrow.
1st try did not hatch- our fault bad heater!!
2nd try most hatched all dided but one which we still have and at this point we feel will be our first success. changed heater and became more strict about paying attention to the fry
3rd try many are still alive going on day 5. very strict attention and high food concentration. making sure the rotifers ahve enough time to eat alot of FREASH phyto culture to assure they are as healthy as possible for the fry
the biggest key is the keep the food population HIGH.
keep the tank clean.
and KEEP IT STABLE!!
we change about 1 gallon of the water everyday and then take a break. the days when we are expecting the morph we do a 2 gallon change so that we dont have to do it again for a few days so that we dont add any more stress to the tank

I offer them up to the all mighty Reef God as part of a ceremonial sacrifice.
My wife and I are both high priest in the cult so we are in charge of there upbringing until they are old enough to be brought to the alter. :hilarious :hilarious :hilarious
Ok sorry that’s enough of that. I plan to trade them to people for things like corals and or goods. Just another way to help cut the cost of this hobby.
