Anemone shrimp/crabs

[j-cal]

I've read that clownfish will refuse to breed if cleaner shrimp such as skunk, fire and peppermint shrimp are in the tank. people assume that the clowns dont think that it is safe to try to reproduce when somethin will likely just eat the eggs at night. Do you think that anemone shrimp and/r crabs would also cause this response? I would really like to try to rear some fry. I also think these crustaceans would be pretty neat. Any experiences?

My clown lay eggs every 13 days regardless of what's around. I have Peppermint Cleaners, Skunk Cleaners, Pistol Shrimp, Porcelain Crabs, etc.

Bang---I thought true's had a deeper/thicker black outline around the white sections (not like the one on the left, but again not as much as the one one the right ). Dont get me wrong, of all members here, you KNOW what you have (and I believe ya 100%)!! I also read that the eyes are different between true and false percs, cant remember that one though.

I think there can be darker ocellaris and orange perculas the only difference between is the circle around the eyes i heard. Dont remember very well but i think the circles around ocellarises' eyes are dark and percula's orange...

The best indicator of False vs True (A. ocellaris vs A. percula) is the number of Dorsal Spines.
A. ocellaris = 11
A. percula = 9 or 10 (Clownfishes, pg. 68)
Mine have 9 spines.
