Hi There...
I always recomend Clownfishes by Joyce Wilkerson to anyone interested in breeding clowns. It has a ton of information and you might want to order this book if you are really interested. In the book, she gives some tips for encouraging spawning in your clowns such as ...
1. Increase the photoperiod gradually from 12 hours to 14 hours...If nothing happens, slowly return to 12 hours
2. Increase water temp to 80 degrees
3. Increase water movement
4. Offer live adult brine shrimp to your pair at least twice a week...
These are just a few suggestions. I dont think it would be wise to only feed brine shrimp though....I would feed your fish flake, cyclopeze or formula one on the other days of the week. I have also heard that a routine schedule (i.e. feeding time, when lights are going on and off, etc.) can help encourage spawning. Hope this helps
