    Golden color eggs? Mine were always red in color from my gold stripe maroons... But if you want to try to raise them you have about 7-9 days before they hatch to get rotifers and hope your other fish dont eat them...

    I'd buy the clownfish book my Joyce Wilkerson. Here's the link:

    http://www.amazon.com/Clownfishes-Captive-Breeding-Natural-History/dp/1890087041

    It is a great book, definitely a must read for anyone attempting to raise clowns. There's other books out there that will be good too, but this is the one that I think would be the best for you to read first.

    Adam, I have that book already....LOL I don't intend on breeding mine, too many fish now.Just thought that the female had spent enough time alone so I got her the male.If she doesn't quit re-arranging all the corals in their end of the tank they may both go ;-)

    P.S. it is a great book...gives details on everything. Someday I may setup a seperate tank for them.

    Sounds good, if you decide not to keep them, Craig's looking for more breeding pairs of clowns at AC&C and you could use the credit for a different pair of clowns or anything else at the store.

    Here's the link if you're interested:
