Clown Spawn

[ChrisBuono]

I was surprised this afternoon when I saw that my Ocellaris Clown Fish had laid eggs just outside the hammer coral they've been hosting in for the past two years.

Cool, eh!

Nice !!

 

[Rainer Feyer]

Great, Chris!

So, they've been doing the 'happy dance', have they?

Nice to hear - it's what we like about our little reef's - wet nature!

What a great picture.

 

[Nammy]

Awesome!

 

[NYSEMTI]

Very cool did you have any luck raising any of the fry?

 

[ChrisBuono]

Nope - They definitely matured though. They turned more brownish. Then I began to see little reflective signs of life in each (almost like a miniscule air bubble). Then they were gone (after a couple of weeks).

There were some great articles on clown fish breeding in some of the trade mags this month. Tropical fish hobbyist was one.

 

[Rainer Feyer]

Chris,

[ChrisBuono]

Sure Rainer! All the time. Do you have someone in mind?
