Black (darwin) ocellaris x black ice ocellaris breeding thread

[quickreefer]

So 12 days ago my female clown, a black darwin occelaris look substantially bigger and her ovipositor was sticking out that night she layed what appeared to be eggs but where a milky white so u wasn't sure if they were eggs but suspected they were unfertilized due to their first time.

Yesterday she was looking huge again and her ovipositor was out and I got home around ten from work and she had layed a huge batch of eggs that are orange and seem to be fertilized

I plan to raise them with a buddy who already has fry going from his black snowflake combo here's a couple pics

Could I get a moderator to move thread to the breeding forum?

Very cool. I have a pair that had been laying very regularly before a tank move. I'm not setup for raising them but am working toward it.

I created a thread in the breeding forum showing a photo of the eggs each day.

Here is my pair. Sans eggs.

Dark blacker ice, like the clowns in the 90. Maybe some connecting head and body bars.

 

[quickreefer]

Clowns in the 90s?

 

[stevers]

Like the clowns in your dad's tank, the 90 gallon.
