I'm designing a fish room in my new house to showcase my new custom in-wall 90. I would like to incorporate a simple rack system of 10g 20g and 40g for clown breeding. The system must be simple and expandable if I enjoy breeding. Lets see your breeding systems! Also, what is your best tip for someone starting from scratch?

tip: Read Joyce Wilkerson's Clownfishes book.

Mostly I try to hide my breeding system, not show it off. It's rather ugly....:D

please do a search there are a number of threads w/ this exact topic and many posters have contributed pictures.
BTW Kathys right on....
also consider Martin Moes early work on breeding psuedochromis's and frank hoffs book (available on Amazon) on clownfish as these book provide great technical info and background

Here is a thread where we were starting to collect a list of links to other threads about breeding setups:

Hope this helps :)
Maybe one day we could make a sticky with an organized list with a short description, etc. Might help to reduce clutter and more importantly, point people in the right direction.

A sticky would be very helpful for the new guys on the block- it's not that we don't want to, didn't try, or can't search, it is just sometimes very difficult to find the right information.
