You'll have more genetic diversity starting with wild fish. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."

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 was thinking it but didn't type it. Darn heat! http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."
