how to breed ocellaris' ??

[streetsurf]

Hey guys, before I go to LFS to purchase my ocellaris' I was curious on encouraging breeding. I want to buy a couple of tank raised so they will have a better chance with a coral host. Do I just buy to small clowns and introduce them to the tank at the same time, or do I buy one small and one larger and introduce one after the other?? What seems to be the best way???
Thanks in advance!!!

Clownfishes by Joyce Wilkerson
It's all in there. But just to get you started, I think it's good to introduce them to the tank at the same time.

Viper, I bought that book two weeks ago and I can't put it down. It gives, not only advice of breeding of clowns, but nutritional needs and care advice you would overlook. I never knew diversity of food was as important as anything.

If breeding is your goal I'd suggest buying a breeding or at least bonded pair.
If you just want a pair then just adding two small Ocellaris will usually safely end in a bonded pair.
Great book
