Breeding any fish isnt gonna be easy. I myself have had a few betta spawns. My male was just like urs with the first spawn. Thing is you have to let them keep trying when they are ready again. After a couple bad spawns my bettas got the hang of things and had a few good spawns since.

Now as far as clowns go it is a bit more difficult. You have to have a green water setup, rodifer setup, Baby brine shrimp set up. There is alot of research and trial and error in clown breeding. Pairs do not usually breed until they are established quite some time. It is unlikely you will just get a pair and they start laying eggs unless you buy a breeding pair. There are quite a few people on the boards who do raise clown fry and I am hopin to be one of them someday when my clowns finally do the deed. Note it has been 3 years in the waiting.
Here is some good reading.

Welcome to SDR!
New to SDR and first time member to the reefing community!
So I am very interested with talking to people that have any first hand experience in this matter and talking to any fellow reefer on the subject of breeding as well. So far the only people that I have talked to are the wonder staff at Aquatic Warehouse and Pet Kingdom. If any on has advice as to how to help bonded pairs of clown fish mate that would be super sweet!! Finally my question of the day is what the heck is a "bump"
I have been surfing the equipment/Livestock forums and see bumps left and right. I've been racking my head over it and haven't been able to figure it out.
Oh well I can honestly say that I have learned alot from these experiences. Though I have been into reefing for two years I still consider myself at the beginner level and look forward to the combined knowledge on this site!

What I hope to do as well as breed them is to write a well documented article on the process as well as video tutorials that will make the process easier or at least easier to understand. I know that breedclownfish is pretty much already like this but I figure the more on the web about breeding the better!
