I have had my perc and ocellaris clowns together for about 3 years now and they've nearly always stayed around each other but never acted like a mated pair. Well, I just looked between the two rose anemones that they live in and there is a clutch of eggs stuck to a rock. Would it be worth it to get my extra 10 gal tank out, add the little filter and throw the rock in there? I know the dietary requirements are tough for the fry but I think I can keep up with their needs with my awesome local club and premium aquatics right down the road. The rock is on top of a formation and is relatively easy to remove. PS, by worth it I don't mean money, I mean the satisfaction of raising little eggs into clownfish.

    I don't know anything about it at all. Notta... but I do know this. If I could raise baby clown fish my wife would immediately triple our tank money. I'd say go for it! lol

    Mits, at a recent reefers meeting I met some people who did clown reproduction. It is quite difficult to feed them, I don't recall the details, but you need to produce a steady amount of pod-like creatures to feed them, enriched with vitamins or something similar, etc. If you google around you'll find more details.
