Clownfish Breeding Video

[JMBoehling]

I have had this female clownfish since I was in college, 20 years ago (Her original mate got killed by a Lunar Wrasse while gaurding a nest). She has layed eggs every 3 week for probably ten of them. I finally took the time to capture the daily progress of the Clownfish breeding. Something that seems trivial to those that have spawning pairs in their reefs, but absolutely amazing to people wanting their pairs to spwan for them. I hope you enjoy my work, and theirs




Thanks for watching!
