Wild caught broodstock is great if you can get healthy specimens. You'll have more genetic diversity starting with wild fish.

Just make sure to QT them for a good long time - six weeks isn't a bad start.

+1 for WC as broodstock - preferably with known collecting locations too. Get absolutely as much info as you can on them. The more the better. +1 also for strong QT. WC Clowns are indeed more problematic in every regard.

I forgot to mention QT. I was thinking it but didn't type it. Darn heat!
