Get this clownfish fanatics! I just received a "pair" of Latz clowns from Karen B. in Hawaii today. She graciously sent me a pair from her first generation that are around 3.5 years old. When I opened the box, I was elated to say the least. These fish are beautiful and large, probably close to 4-5" long. Anyways, one of the fish seemed to be really plump and a few hours ago, I noticed something coming out of her underside. At first, I thought it was poop and paid no attention to it. A couple hours went by and it looked the same. I assumed it was constipated but after looking closer, I'm 99% sure it is the ovipositor. Now, let me tell you why this is strange. Karen had told me that she had both of these clowns in a 100g and they formed a bond. Here's the kicker, she said they both lay eggs!! WOW, so I have a pair of females who have bonded and one is about to lay eggs! How cool is that? The only sad part is that for obvious reasons, the eggs will never be fertile. Oh well, I suppose my Swissguard basslet pair will be enjoying dinner soon enough.
