My first question is can this be profitable? My second question is how long would it take to breed out your own line (that’s new)? Thanks

It could be profitable in the long run, but it’s important to have buyers. Unless you have a sizeable operation, it’s hard to to profit off online orders alone. Ask your LFS if they’ll make purchases off you!My first question is can this be profitable? My second question is how long would it take to breed out your own line (that’s new)? Thanks
As to breeding a new line of clownfish, I have no clue. If it was easy, tons of people would do it...( there aren’t many who do)

if by "new line" you mean different colors/patterns - it takes multiple generations of selective breeding so probably need to think in terms of years. could definitely be profitable - designer clowns sell for a lot of money.

It is profitable once you start getting good numbers out of your attempts, female Clownfish usually can lay eggs at 2+ years or 6cms length or more if the are not in excellent shape. Male are sexually mature about 6+ months old.
