In a nano, how do I breed clowns?

[lando101]

My clowns are fighting right now, 2 or 3 times a minute, and was wondering how long it would take for them to work out their issues? The female is 1/3 larger than the male, and the male keeps quivering, I think that means it accepts being a male? Also when will they start breeding? I have reef flake plus nutritional food because I heard success is in the food, is this true? And finnaly can I feed baby brine shrimp to the larva? Thanks!

Youre going to want to go to the clownfish and anemones forum for all of that. Breeding clownfish is a very drawn out operation, you'll be surprised.

Ok, so I will be able to breed them in my 14g nano? Will I be able to get an annemone in my aquarium, or will it out grow it? Thats what my LFS said. Thanks, I looked at the forum for clowns, most q's answered, I just hope it can be done in this size aquarium!! Thanks for all replies!!

Theres a couple of really good threads, I think in the aquaculture forums as well. A 14gallon is a good starter tank but definitely limited on what you could put in there. Anemones require T5 lights or metal halides, and wont survive on the PCs that come stock. I dont know if you will be able to breed them really, its a multitank operation and a full time job as Ive seen on here.
