ok good book for clown breeding (i got it for xmas) is called Conditioning, spawning and rearing of fish with emphasis on marine clownfish by Hoff.

My breeding pair is in a full mixed reef 72 gallon. The fry will definately be moved from the 10 gallon into 40 gallon grow out tanks when agression starts.

I would definitely not recommend inbreeding. As crappy as it is, i recommend getting wild caught bangaii's or to do what you said, get from a variety of sources. That way they're genetically diverse. As i mentioned above the best method (which worked again for me today when i bought my second pair) is to put a bunch of medium sized bangaii's in a tank (be it 5 or 20 bangaii's) and wait for pairs to move off from the group. Then scoop and separate. This doesnt take long, pairs will start moving off in a few hours if they're the right age.
