If you're serious about trying to raise the babies, to get the best results, you'll need to separate the parents into their own tank. If they remain in the DT, you can use a larval trap to catch the fry on hatch night. However, if you have other fish in the tank (such as cardinals, which have very good night vision) they will quickly eat the newborns, and a minimal amount will actually be caught in the trap.

Keep in mind that most clownfish pairs that are comfortable and established will spawn. Just make sure you're up to the challenge of raising the babies.
