Clowns laid eggs

[roadrashpaul]

Noticed the pair going in and out of a specific rock today. Got down and looked inside and they have laid eggs. First time that I know of for these two. Guess that means I am doing a little something right.

Awesome, any plans to attempt to raise the babies?

Naw... Wouldn't know where to start. Would have no problem donating them to someone that would like to try though.

Very cool. They must be happy fish.

I just noticed the same thing with mine. I can see their little eyes. I guess they will be food for someone shorty as I don't know what to do with them.

Did you notice any different behavior prior to the eggs? My true perc pair has been happy for about a year. Over the past week, the female has really started harassing the male and they've been doing a lot of the clown shake. The female pretty much forces the male back into their host nem whenever he's more than 12 inches away from it. I'm wondering/hoping it's precursor to laying eggs.

NIce Paul. this is a good sign. mine lay like clockwork. but they are potheads (lay in a clay pot). I hope to raise them one day. maybe this summer.
