I have alot of action in my tank, i have 1 purple tang, 1 Morish idol, 1sudocromis, 1 mystry wrass, 1 dotti back, 2 manderins, 2 neon goby, 2 marine batas, 1 flame angel, 1 rusty angel, 1 coral beauty, 1 flame back angel, 1 bi color bleny, 2 tail spot bleny, and my 2 perc clowns. My water temp is 79 and my salt is 22, everybody seems happy. my setup has been running for 2 years. the clowns have been together for a year and a half, i havent seen any fighting or twitchen from the male, but the female looks developed. they are hosting a large elegance but no funny business yet. wondering if I might need to give up on breeding these and get another tank and try two more clowns by them selves? any thoughts on too much action.

too many fish, IMHO.
Clownfish are like people. Put two in a room together without any outside attention and without anything to do and they will eventually mate. Ergo, you should probably try a separate breeding aquarium. A 20g high with a large HOB filter and maybe a skimmer - the bottom painted black, and place a few coffee mugs and/or ceramic tiles in the tank and feed them well. Eventually, they will mate as long as they are a breeding pair - or if you buy then young enough.
Wish yah the best!
