My very own clownfish are having cleaning fit, and are uninterested in eating.
The female, who is huge, and whose ovipositer is extended and larger than I have ever seen it, is making passes at the bottom corner of the front glass. The male is acting confused, and is alternately cleaning a nearby rock, or else on top of the female, or along side some of the time. They are both very interested in this corner. I hope they spawn on the aquarium glass, 'cause that will make placing a tile there very easy.
Timing could not be better. I will not be tempted to collect nests until we get back from Italy. So my fish can get some practice and start laying really healthy nests. My friend, whose clownfish supply me with eggs to raise thus far, will be moving his household this summer, so his clownfish will most likely be out of commission for a while. Perhaps mine will be in the swing of things by then.
It will be great to have an in house source! I am so excited!
Cheers,
Kathy
