Breeding Saddlebacks

[CDS1967]

Hello all

I am interested in maybe breeding my two Saddlebacks. Any suggestions on reading materials with which to begin my research?

Thanks!

from what Ive heard, they can be very difficult to get to spawn.

I'll be following this one, I am also interested in purchasing and breeding saddle backs. Aside from my clarkiis, saddlebacks are my favorite clowns.

Difficult you say? I'm going to give it a try. I have them in a 33 long I am using for coral propegation, with a Seabae anenome and a cleaner shrimp for company. I have never tried breeding before. I decided to choose my favorite clown...leave it to me to pick one difficult to breed...

Are they regular saddle backs or the black saddle backs? If they are the black saddleback they are one of the more difficult at this time. If they are the regualr saddlebacks they are not that bad. Buy Clownfishes by Joyce Wilkerson it is one of the best books for begining breeders.

I've heard they require a huge tank to breed, just what I heard
