To my suprise my tomatoe clowns have spawned, i have never seen the eggs or seen them doing the deed though :kiss: . How you may ask then do i know they have spawned :ooh: ?! Late one night i got home from a USMC poolee function and decided i wanted to give my tank a look. I wander over to the cutting station where the flash light is located and turn the bad boy on. So im looking around and i go over the old close loop intake that now sits wide open but goes back about 5 in behind the tank befor hitting a ball valve and low and behold there are 2 different sets of tomato clown baby's!!! :xd: i continues to go to the other outakes of the close loop and theres more in each one!!
For the skeptical these are baby clowns the longest are about 1/4 of a inch and are about to meta-morphs the smallest and most numberas are baby maby 1/64 of a inch. And believe me ive done my home work!
there are about 15 "larger ones" and prabably 100+ itse bitsy ones the itsy ones swarm and never leave the outakes but the larger ones are smart enough to venture out at night only when the vortech mp-40 on reefcrest is at its lowest point of moving water. luckly the holes they live in are small enough that the wrass cant eat them! lol. Another incredibal behavior ive notices is that the male takes food to them when i feed my mix of stuff. at first i thought he was just taking it there to hide it from the wrass early on but the truth is as they say it much more interesting! so the babys have prabably living off of phyto what little of it is in the tank, baby particals of flake, cyclops, and posibly copods?? i am planning on putting a tile in the tank so i can move the eggs and raise them properly but the ones in my tank are impossible to extract right now :sad:
I will try to get pics but it is extreemly dificult as there so small and in such a wird location :neutral: . I would laugh so hard if any actually matured into clowns living in the tank. thanks for reading this and il keep things updated to my best ability!!
