Advice for breeding false percula clowns?

[overorainbow]

I am interested in breeding false percula clowns and I have a few questions. Currently I have one false percula in a 40 gallon tank shared with a royal gramma, a serpent sea star and the clean up crew of snails and crabs. I also have a five gallon tank that isn't set up.
Would it be better to buy another percula and put in in the 40 gallon, or put the new one and the other false percula in the five gallon with no other fish?

Also, how should I choose another false percula? Any advice for picking a good fish?

And are you supposed to remove the clown pair after they lay their eggs, or just leave them in the same tank? I heard that the clowns might eat the eggs..

Where can I purchase rotifers and how often do I feed the fry?

Any other advice on how to breed false percula clowns is highly appreciated!

search the breeding forums here. There is lots of information. If you haven't already, try to find a copy of the book Clownfishes by Joyce Wilkerson. They are expensive, but sometimes you can find a cheaper used copy. Matt Wittenrich's book is also an excellent resource. There are a couple sites dedicated to breeding marine fish. They're excellent and have tons of information.

Plenty of good clownfish breeding info right here

On pairing, I'd go with adding a small juvenile. This way the larger clown will turn female (if not already), and the small juvenile will end up male.
