Breeding Clowns

[crabbie]

Is it possible for an average aquarist to breed clowns? If so what type would be easiest , where could one get more info?

Yes. Get Joyce Wilkerson's Clownfishes. It has everything you need to know.

I haven't read Wilkerson's book, but I do know that Beginner to Breeder, by Martin A Moe is a top-class book. It tells you everything you need to know about them. Of all the fish kept in the aquarium, Clowns seem to be the most ready to spawn, but raising the fry can sometimes be a hassle, but not if you set yourself up right in the beginning.
