I am looking into trying to breed some fishes. I am still trying to decide what kind of fish to do. I want to do some kind of clownfish. is there a kind of fish that are easier to breed than others?

That is awesome! It's a huge undertaking, and hopefully some others will chime in. Knowing your goals and what you're looking to do can help us point you in a good direction. Have you raised any fish before? Have you grown rotifers before? I think we'd need to know more about your background to know what to tell you next. I can type out a couple pages here but it'd probably be easier to just talk. Call me 801-809-2326 some afternoon.

Clownfishes are the easiest fish to breed, others are really kind of hard to tell their sexes you will have to buy a bunch and hopefully they find a pair.

clown fish maybe some of the easiest to get to lay eggs, but raising the young is somewhat involved. Bangaii Cardinals, Pearly Jawfish, Mandarin Gobies, Clown Gobies, Sea Horses, and most shrimp also breed somewhat easily in capitvity.
It's a question of deciding what you really want to breed and then making all the preparations to be successful at it. I hope to someday have a breeding operation of all the above--but alas time, space, and $ seem to elude me for that endeavor.

I don't know where you guys are coming from.  Clownfish are not the easiest. Bangaii Cardinals are the easiest. For anyone interested in learning to breed marine fish, there is no doubt in my mind that they should start by keeping a reef tank for a year and caring for a pair of Bangaii Cardinalfish. There are a lot of initial questions that you should be asking if you are really serious about this.
