Got the "Clownfish" book by Wilkerson, I have had 2 Ocellaris clowns for about 1 year, I am interested in breeding them.

Just want to know who has done this before and how things turned out.

My 2 clowns don't behave the way the books say. They seem paired off, hanging around together and sleeping in one spot. However neither one is larger than the other, they are both about 1-3/4" nose to base of tail. Each of them makes the "quivering" motion in front of the other one so it seems I may have a pair of gay male clowns, maybe they just need more time to grow and develop?

Mine are dif. sizes & lay fertilized eggs every 2 weeks. They're going to Ivy so she can finally breed clownfish & raise the babies. We feel bad that they're in a community reef tank right now & the babies keep getting eaten so at least she can give them a fighting chance at survival. They host in my rhodactis mushrooms.
