Black Saddleback shimmy?

[Gary Majchrzak]

Black Saddleback Anemonefish are not known to readily spawn in captivity.
A couple of weeks ago I saw my Black Saddleback female do the (spawning) shimmy.
Last night, my wife and kids reported seeing it.
Needless to say, this is a very bad time to start tearing down the aquarium...

but is there ever a good time to tear down a reef aquarium?

Just like kids, never do as they're told and always at the most inconvenient time!

Congratulations and good luck.

PS My perc clowns are still dancing and scrapping the rocks but I haven't seen anything else yet.

A loooong time. I wouldn't be surprised if this freekin' fish layed eggs the day I go to move her.

Would you raise the babies if they did?

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

No. I'm done with raising anemonefish. I'm raising something else, nowadays.
