Hi,
I had to give my 2 cents. I have read that in the wild, even though clowns lay hundreds of eggs every couple of weeks for several years, they are lucky if 2 of their offspring live to become breeding adults. Not good odds. As with bangaii's, wild caught clowns are cheap for suppliers to buy making it hard for home breeders to break even, let alone make a profit.
Making the scales tip against the clownfish was the movie finding nemo which saw every person seeing this movie go out and impulse buy a nemo of their own.
It should be a great show to see the breeding side of it.

This is also why we see so many times tiny tanks with a clownfish and a blue hippo tang. Sorry I meant a Nemo and a Dori. I bet they don't even know the real fish name.
