I was thinking of starting to breed clowns, what kind of clowns are easy to breed and raise? I know breeding clowns is hard, but what kind from all the clowns is the easiest? I already have a single maroon (female) who was the only clown in the tank, can I get another one that's the same kind of maroon? Will they pair up or is it a 50/50 chance?
Thanks!

If you want to breed marroon clown, you need to make sure that one is very much larger than the other, so that the smaller one becomes submissive before it is killed....marroons are the most aggressive of all the clowns. So, you should wait till the one you have is at least 2 1/2 inches before you get another, and that one should be the smallest one you can find, hopefully less than 1 1/4 inch. This wont guarantee a pair, just make it more probable that pairing could take place. (source: Clownfishes, Wilkerson) A friend has just brought some maroons through metamorphasis and are about 3/4 of an inch. He is giving me the next spawn to rear, and from these I would be happy to send you one (you pay for the shipping) to try to pair up with yours.
Hope this helps.

Here is a picture of the new couple! The old one I had for more than a year and a half. When I put them both in at the same time, they both paired up within seconds! Oh yeah, the little new one was like, dancing? or something near the big one?
