they are only about $5.00 each on the breeding level depending on what kind, and you can add more than two you will end up with a breeding pair plus a lot of juveniles. some species this is easer than others, but you can definitely have more than two.

I think false percs and skunk clowns are your safest bet to keep in a group if you get them all at the same time :)

+1

check with king eds pets they sometimes get a load of clownfish for cheap from local breeders that is if you can't find any on here.

hahahha my gosh. :)

I don't think I can at most name 10 active/inactive clownfish breeders in canada :)

Anybody breeding on the west coast? (aside from ocean aquatics that previously did that)

This guy is a novice saltie, do you really think he's going to have a setup that can support that? You'll get a breeding pair from just buying two as well. I don't see the point in keeping a group of them. I think this is just a case of not knowing.

How do you know that he is a novice salty because he only has a few posts? Or do you know him personally.
Everyone has to start somewhere. If I had posted that as my first post would I be labeled the same way. I have been in and out of this hobby since the 1980's but only joined Canreef this year.
If he wants a group of them in one tank who are we to tell him he can't.

You have a big clown collection do you breed them?

This post made me think he's a novice salty:

Who told him he can't? I suggested that there is an easier way. Isn't that what these boards are for? Giving people a heads up when they're pointed for troubles? Helping people out? I don't see your issue...

Said he set up another tank for his girlfriend. His tank could be a 300 gal SPS for all we know, and you recommended he only get two as he apparently does not know. I would think nothing of keeping that many in one tank dedicated to just clowns, but I guess technically you did not say he can't.:wink: I retract my statement.
