I’m looking to setup a clownfish harem tank. I need 15-20 clownfish from the same clutch. Anybody out there who can help me or steer me in the direction of someone reputable for such a purchase? Thank you

Perhaps @Cultivated Reef would be a good source. I only have purchased corals from them but have corresponded over Clownfish questions. Solid company.

Cultivated reef was very accommodating to me when purchasing my harem. Email them. Holly was exceptional.

Thinking of doing the same, did you establish your tank with anemones first?
Saying that you can get juveniles from the same clutch, can you mix different clutches so that there are a variety?

TIA

My anemones has been in the tank for a while. I just got a new bta but it’s still glaring around looking for a home.

Mixing the clutches from what I understand just adds the possibility of more aggression.

Agree, probably not a good idea, maybe a better idea if you want variety might be a clutch of designers w/ varying patterns instead.

There’s no sure way to do it. Same clutch doesn’t always work. There’s a big thread on it in the nem/clown forum.

Chad Vossen’s clowns are incredible. I’d highly recommend his for sure.
