OMG, I love that picture. Seems your brood are coming along swimmingly. :yes: Where are they now?
60! Marlin and Coral must be proud! 
Its a good thing I don't breed clownfish, I'd never have the heart to part with any of them and my whole house would have to be converted into a fish tank menagerie.
:thinking: Well, come to think of it, that would not be so bad.

WOW, what happened to the 1 fish per 5 gallon rule. Only Kidding!!! Great piece of work!
LOL!! I thought it was 5 inches of fish per gallon? They're in a 10 gallon tank!!!! I have a few inches to spare I think. :scared:
You think that's bad.... I now have 300 new born clownfish in a 3 gallon container. They hatched on Sunday.
I also have about 50 Mandarin Dragonette fry that hatched the same day in a small flat pan.

300 new clownies? Wow, plus the mandarins. You got a regular nursery going on in there.
Pretty soon the lagoon may be too small..

IMO you are generally safe with 1 inch per 5 gallons of tank (not system). There are a lot of variables that can give more (or less) capacity but 1" per 5 gallons is the best for planning purposes. You should also count the expected adult size of the fish and not the current size unless you expect all of you fish to die before they grow up :thinking:
