Clownfish Breeding Questions...

[AR16]

I a going to post my questions here and in the breeding forum.

I am strongly considering breeding my clownfish. After reading mountains of material (including many threads here) I have decided it is something I could realistically do, I am still unsure about one or two parts of the process.

For the larvae tank, I have seen some pictures of a Kreisel, is this necessary to have?

Also, once, if every, the larvae reach the metamorphism/grow-out stage, what kind of tank size will I be looking at? How many baby's could I have in say a 5 gallon tank?

Thanks for any feedback, this is probably still down the road aways, but I want to know if it is even something I could do.

all of my larva stay in a 5 gallon tank until they are at least a month old, sometimes 2 months. For the first week or so, they are only kept in 1-2 gallons of water in that 5 gallon tank (easy for water changes). As they reach meta, I keep more and more water in the tank. I usually add a sponge filter at about 2 weeks (maybe 3)
