Clownfish is an ornamental fish are much favored by the hobies so the market demand both domestically and abroad are not met. Clownfish seeding and cultivation technology has long been developing, but not so attractive to communities where the benefits achieved fairly small because the price clownfish generally only assessed Rp 5000. Unlike the clownfish from crosses that memilikic scrambled unique so it can be sold for hundreds of millions of rupiah , therefore it is necessary to improve the quality of seeds so that the economic value also increased. One way to improve the quality of seeds is to produce seeds clownfish frost bite and snow flake which has hundreds of thousands of rupiah. To produce seed clownfih snow flake frost bite and can be done by crossing or without crossing them is a marriage between: 1). frost bite with frost bite, 2). snow snow flake by flake 3). frost bite with snow flake, 4). frost bite with Picasso, and 5). Picasso with snow flake. Containers used for spawning aquarium with a volume of 50 liters and a circulation system for larval rearing is like fiber volume 2 tons. Results of the marriage has a percentage and seed quality levels that vary depending on the quality of the parent and the feed given. With the improvement of seed quality expected to increase interest in the cultivation of clownfish to become new business opportunities among people, especially those living on the coast.
