creating these breeds

Post by fluxion8 »

I'm trying to get my ocelaris clowns to breed, but I'm not having any luck. What's the best way to encourage them?

You can't force them, it's just not that simple. A suitable pair, ideal water conditions, a location they find appealing to spawn, and a bit of luck are all you can really provide. Unfortunately, some clowns just never seem to reach that stage.

What's their age and size?

It can take a long while for clownfish to reach maturity, then even after that, some just won't breed.

I picked them up at a local fish store, so I'm not sure how old they are, but size-wise, one's around 2 inches and the other's about 2.5 inches.
