I have 4 baby clowns I've been raising for the past month..(only caught 6 fry/babies but still have 4 alive...) at what point are they usually able to be raised in a regular tank again?
What are you feeding them now? Have you transitioned them to crushed flake food. IMO as soon as they are "good" swimmers and are eating flake they are good to go. That is unless you have big bangaii's or other fish that would love to snack on them in the main tank.
i'd say an inch. We move ours over to a foam filter once they have gone through meta, and are eating flake. Be prepared to keep up with regular water changes though.
Are you still feeding rotifers at a month old? If so it would make sense to stop. Also I noticed that you have Randy Reed from Reed Mariculture coming to speak to your club. Ask him about the product line called Otohime. It is a larval/juvenille food high in protein & fat for raising small fish. Otohime is formulated in multiple sizes so that you do not have to grind it up. The smallest size is comparible to newly hatched brine shrimp. I currently use 5 different sizes of the otohime for raising my clownfish.
