hi all, i have recently aquired a pair of ocellaris clownfish, they are mated and have been together for 2 years prior to my getting them, i didnt ask if they ever laid eggs etc (wasnt thinking of breeding then)

what size tank do they need if i wanted to breed them, the female is about 2" and the male 1.5", do i need a seperate tank for any young? or just a hang on breeder box type thing? or?

they are in my 65 currently with other fish, but the female has started to get very agressive lately, not so much to the fish but if i put my hand (or anything) into the tank she attacks it, i have had them about 4 weeks, have they just settled in and are boss of the tank? or are they wanting to breed so are agressive or?
 
im thinking my 33 perhaps, was going to try inverts (cleaner shrimp) but apparently they are hard to breed, so looking into these guys!

i dont want them in the smallest tank i can get away with, but what they would be comfortable/happy in and have a good chance to produce young
