I have a 60 gallon with a maited pair of gold stipe maroon clownfish. They have not spaned yet after 8 moths but im not giving up. There is just too much to tell you on how to breed them so look in the archives and FAQs.

read through this whole section, talk to people, and be patient, thats the biggest thing with any kind of animal breeding, you have to be PATIENT at all times, its not something you can rush into, at all

We breed gold stripe maroons we have a pair in a 72 bowfront and a pair in our 220 cube. A breeding pair of GSM's are VERY VERY agressive, our female regularly draws blood. Often they are not very affectionate of tankmates especially once they start spawning.
GSM's are one of the hardest clowns to raise, the fry are extremely small, most can't eat regular rotifers the first day. We spent well over a year trying and still have fairly low success ~40 or so per batch. On top of that they are much harder than other clowns to grow out, because they HATE each other. Those peaceful schools of hundreds of baby clowns all nestled together, well not with GSM's. As soon as they get their stripes the weakest are picked off by the largest so be prepared to have MANY growout tanks to split them up.
Don't mean to sound too negative but they are actually a fairly hard clownfish to raise, much more so than clarkii;s etc...
Good luck!!!
