My next step in clown breeding?

Alright, I have been tossing around ideas of my next broodstock selection. I am debating what to get. I have a few ideas of other breeds but I wanted to add another pair of clowns.....maybe even two pairs. I will say that I'm not into the whole hybrid thing or the typical breeds that everybody seems to do(no offense!!). I want to explore some breeds that aren't very popular but still possible for my skill level and also might catch a decent wholesale value. Resale price is not extremely important because I would hope make them more affordable to others if I have success. I would just like to break even sometime on them. I have only breed A. percula (picasso and platinum) so far. They are my "bread and butter" that allow me to try different breeds. Here are the two that I am thinking: -Amphiprion latezonatus -Amphiprion mccullochi I feel that these two fit the bill pretty well. They don't have a huge track record for breeding success and that is a fairly interesting draw for myself. Any help on normal conditions(temp.) and links to other breeders logs would be much appreciated. I have only found one journal for Latz on another site. My biggest initial challenge is setting up a proper size tank and dealing with the proper temp while linked into my broodstock system. Thanks for comments, suggestions, questions.......which one would be "easier"? Sorry if this has been discussed in a popular magazine....I don't subscribe to any.  Just joking Matt.
