Hi Everyone I have a few questions.
Do you need an anemone to breed clown?
Is it easier to breed clowns with or without an anemone?
What anemone is best for a pair of black percula and what is the best for a pair of true percula?
What tank size should I put them in? I was thinking of getting a 29gal for each pair of clowns all to the selves.
Is it better to house with or without tankmates?
If there is anything else to think about or should know about please do tell me. I have purchased some books but if you have a book I should know about please tell me, and if anyone has any advice or suggestions I would like to here from you.
Thanks

What anemone is best for a pair of black percula and what is the best for a pair of true percula? Bubble-tips are less difficult but I don't know what are "best".
What tank size should I put them in? 10 gal+ for Percula and 20 gal+ for Ocellaris
Is it better to house with or without tankmates? Without

Thanks Bang Guy for the much needed advice.
Which do you think is it easier to breed percula or Ocellaris?
Do you know where on the web I could get a pair or singles for a reasonable price?
Thanks again for the advice.

Also when the pair start breedeing if they do, do the parents eat the fry or will they leave them alone?
How do you remove the eggs?
Could someone give me all the details on breeding and keeping the fry?
What do you feed the fry?
What are the conditions the eggs need and fry need?
How long do the eggs take to hatch?
Any other questions I'm missing?
Please help me on my quest to learn more before I start the tanks up.
Thanks

all that i can answer is that the parents will eat the fry
the parents can be taken out easier then the eggs
and it takes a week or so for the eggs to hatch deepending on the species

Anybody who owns a pair that breeds do you keep the fry or do you let the clowns eat them?
What do you do when you keep them?
Don't you distrupt the breeding cycle if you remove them from the tank?
Please Respond.

Yeah but you can't guarantee that you are going to get a small clown and a bigger clown to mate. That site there are little strings attached.
