Go to Amazon and order Joyce Wilkersons Clownfishes book. This is required reading, come back with your questions after reading this book

Dr. Wilkerson's book is required reading for anyone crazy enough to embark on that adventure.

Intermediate Clownfish breeding 201 prerequisite Conditioning and Spawning by F. Hoff. Tip: If you get to this might as well pick up the companion volume Plankton Culture Manual

Since I own all three, does that mean I'm an "intermediate breeder"? What does one read to be considered "advanced"?

Seriously, Wilkerson's hands down, once I read it, clownfish breeders bible 101.

Owning not being the same as reading, I am not sure of your prerequisites, young man.

JK. I think a tank of GBGs promotes you to intermediate. I, on the other hand, am a rank beginner....
