Ok, I am on Chapter 8 (Live Food Cultures) on Wilkerson's book, and just have a few questions.
1) My ocellaris clown fish host the top of a power head in the back corner of my tank. When I do my weekly water changes, the water level drops below the top of the power head. What effect could this have on the spawning of my fish?
2) What do you do with clay pots, floor tiles, etc.. to prepare them to add to the tank? Do you boil them or what?
3) In late oct, I found my female clown on the floor. It took about a week, but I found a replacement female. It took about another week, with no fighting or chasing, but they paired up. Now, just about a week ago, I noticed they are now pretty much separated during the day by 6 or so inches as the male now hangs out at another site, At night, it seems as if they both go back to the power head. Should I be worried? The clowns dont pick at each other or anything. The female will go out and swim by the male, but them go back to the powerhead. I have a peppermint shrimp, hermit crabs, snails and a watchmen goby in the tank so I am pretty sure nothing is bothering them. The two fish are probably around a year and a half old. Also, the tank is a 20L.
TIA
