Start by NOT putting them in a breeding box hanging on the side of your tank. Then google how to breed Clownfish.

You do know that the breeder box is for eggs, or fry? Not for the clownfish. No chance they will breed stressed out in a tank the size of a large cup.

First one of them has to become female and it’s going to tank a lot of patience, letting them figure it out/pair if they do, and having ideal tank conditions and then separating them from their eggs so they don’t eat them. Do some reading on breeding clownfish. It typically takes YEARS for young ones to breed. https://www.ocellarisclownfish.com/how-to-breed-clownfish/

They are way too young they need to reach about 1.5 years old before sexually mature

My spotcinctus have been spawning for a couple of months and laid their 3rd clutch of eggs today. I got these as 1” babies this past November from sea and reef. They are much larger now with the female being probably 3 1/2 “ and the male slightly smaller, maybe 3”.

Here they are in November of 2021 as the first fish in the tank. First pic is from today.

That is most definitely too young to breed, the normal breeding age starts around 1 1/2-2 years old! Every animal is different, and anything is possible, but I would say 3-4 months is way too young!

You're going to want to look into how to raise clownfish fry. It's a lot more complicated than freshwater fry; they need incredibly tiny live foods, of multiple different kinds.

A breeder box is to put fry or pregnant guppies in, so the fry won't get eaten. It's not to make the fish breed. It'll do the opposite of making the fish breed, since it's bare, small, and stressful.
