How hard is it to breed Clownfish in captivity, and what kind of setup would I need to do this successfully? Thanks in advance for any advice!

It's really easy to get an established pair to breed- the hard part is feeding the fry- you'll need to culture rotifers and nannochloropsis.

There is a fantastic book by Frank Hoff, Conditioning, Spawning and Rearing of Fish With Emphasis on Marine Clownfish , that will tell you everything you ever wanted to know.
But I think Cearbhaill summed it up nicely.

Breeding Clownfish
I have been breeding clownfish for about a year now. The only hard part is getting your rotifer numbers up to a high density. Once you have rotifers the rest is pretty straight forward. I setup a site explaining how I have been breeding clownfish - http://www.breedclownfish.com. Hope this helps.

Howie, I was just looking at your web site. sounds like a fun thing to do. Are the baby clowns safe i a reef tank or would it be better to raise them in something else?
I looked at that site howie and it sounds really easy!! Im hopefully gonna breed clownfish and this sounds alot easier than the other sites i've read.
