diet for clowns
Tim,
You can go through a great deal of trouble, and money, making your own food. I've done it, and its great for the fish, but not worth the trouble. You need to vary your clowns diet, with foods like Formula one frozen cubes, a good green flake like spirulina or Formula two, pellet food like New Life Spectrum or ORA's pellet, and only feed brine or mysis as a treat sparingly. The eggs are light in color due to poor diet. They will hatch, but you will have very, very low numbers if any make it to and through metamorphosis. The key to good survival rates start with feeding the broodstock pairs high quality food. Formula one is great, it was developed as a food for clownfish specifically.
PE stands for the company selling the mysis, Pycine Energetics.
