    i want to start breeding maroon clownfish. i have a 90 gal. reef and i only have a few small fish, i took out all of them except for my mandarin goby, i have been testing my water eavery few days and my temp. is constant. im ordering the pair next week, but i have a few questions.

    how long will it take them to breed and will they need an anemone?

    Your Maroon Clowns. Are they a breeding pair or just a couple of Maroons?

    I would recommend you check out this site, the people there are very helpful when it comes to information about breeding marine fish and invertebrates.

    I hope you are not going to put all these clowns in one tank. A big NO NO!
