I wasn't sure if they would ever mate, but I have a Ocellaris female who is over 6yrs old and a Percula male who is around 1.5yrs old now. I moved them from a 75g reef to our 150g reef tank a month or so ago and gave them an RBTA. First of all they show no interest in the anemone, but the female has been beating the heck out of a huge frogspawn I have in the corner of the tank.
Well I just went downstairs to check on the tank and there are brand new eggs in the left front corner of the tank (on glass) and the female is laying more as we speak. The male is doing his share and flutters on the eggs and pokes them with his mouth. I will try to get pictures of the eggs

I guess I can now say that I have a mated *odd* pair of clownfish

dude, ive stayed on top of your diary since i joined the forums :p your nano is friggin sweet, ive finally got the gf talked into letting me do a nano for now, since we're not doin our big tanks til next summerwhen we get our own place, now i just gotta find a nano, without a stand, cause with our dogs, the stand is just tooooo flimsy, and ill have her dad build us a very sturdy, big stand that the dogs tail wont make wobble LOL
do u know anywhere u can buy a nano, sans stand, for a decent price? or should i maybe look at getting like a 20 long and setting it up as a nano witha HOB filter/skimmer and what not?

I've got that book. I've tried to find information on whether or not fry from true and false pair will be sterile.

Well you know who to ask... That lady you recommended for clowns knows tons about the crossing of them!!! Just ask her...
but from my knowledge i don't think they should be sterile
