Skunk clownfish Breeding

[Anemone12]

Has anyone had any experience breeding skunk clowns. I know that they are hard to raise but I'm up for the challenge. And how long does it take for the baby's to grow up. I already have a mated pair but they aren't laying yet.

I have raised orange skunk clowns (A. sandarcinos) several times in the past. The babies weren't any harder to raise than ocellaris or percula. Their metamorphosis took a couple days longer and they were slower growing than ocellaris (so they were longer to get to market size), but I would not say they were harder.

Well what encourages them to lay. I started feeding them more 1 cube of frozen mysis and flakes once a day. And they just killed the other clownfish a preclular. What are the signs of them about to lay. And why are they so aggressive to other clownfish?
