How to breed Seabe clowns?

[Swordfisher]

I've got a 180 gal reef that has been set up and running for over 10 years, it has 5 fish in it 3 large Seabe Clo0wns 3-5" one 6"Salfin and one 4" Yellow Tang. Two of the smaller Seabes hang together at one end of the tank 90% of the time they act like a pated pair but I have never noticed and spawnning. What would a person do to entice these Sebae clowns to breed?

Thanks,

Really clowns generally dont spawn when there is more than 2.But to answer your question feed more and basicly keep them happy!Quite simple!

so you recommend taking out the Clown that seems he is own his own? Should I raise the tepm up to 80-82?

thanks

Since you mentioned it. I just noticed these this evening. The adults in the pic are about 5" long. They are just hanging around fanning the eggs. The third one in the tank is about 2" long the male I assume . He's hanging out in a GBTA in the other end of the tank. I don't hold much hopr for the fry as they are in with another pair of clowns, 5 tangs, pink tail trigger and 5 wrasses.

Yes if possible remove the lone clown form the 2 that seem to have paired.And raising the temp would help!

I'm not sure if I could get him out since there is a lot of rock in the tank without tearing it completly apart which I don't think would be worth it. I'm sure some day one of them will eventually die which I would hate to see but as we all know it will eventually hapen to everything we put in our tanks.
