I did it with platies (freshwater), some died at the beginning. Other were
eaten by the mother. The rest I gave away, but inexperience aquarist put
them with bigger fish, and you know what happened.

It was a lot of work but not as expensive as it would be with marine fish.

I would advice against trying, but if you have the time and like to
experiment, that's your choice.

Rising clownfish is NOTHING like rising livebearer freshwater fish.
In most cases, as long as you provide hiding places and prevent fry
being eaten platies will reproduce without you even trying...
