Other Details:

I know this is older info, but I hope it will suffice.
I have been breeding Orange Ocellaris clowns since 2010 and haven't really documented the process since the beginning. I am currently not working with orange ocellaris due to low local demand for the "plain" clownfish (although I do still have a breeding pair in my broodstock system). Recently I have been focusing on Nebula Percula and Darwin Ocellaris.
