Not quite that easy. There is a ton of information on the web on how to raise clownfish.

You might want to first start trying to collect the fry once they hatch first. It will likely take you at least 10 attempts before you are able to scoop up any fry.

It take about 7 to 8 days to hatch and they hatch out at about 2 hours after dark. Turn of the pumps and get a bowl or something to scoop them up with and use a flash flight they are attracted to the light. It will likely take you about 10 tries before you can even catch any.

Once you have learned how to collect them then the real fun starts. Now it gets really difficult and time consuming. If you still want to raise fry after all this work then you will need to get a set up and food. Getting them to live through metamorphosis is extremely difficult. This is where most people hit the wall.

You might want to try something a little easier like saltwater mollies or bangai cardinals first.
