I have a pair of gold stripe maroon clowns (and they aren't mean at all, I lucked out!). Recently, they started spawning (hooray!). The first clutch of eggs was a no-go for me because I wasn't ready. Since then I have started a nice rotifer culture and have had phyto going for a while before that. They laid their second clutch on the 1.27 and the eggs hatched last night (I screwed up with the position of the airstone and killed ALOT of the eggs so I only have two larvae right now, oops). Anyway, I come home today from work and I catch Megan and Melvin laying eggs again, already. I thought that typically they don't lay eggs for a week or so after the last batch hatches. But this is one night. I have read Joyce's book and Matt's book and Frank Hoff's book and I can't remember reading anything about a new egg clutch so soon. Is it bad or a sign of stress, or should I just be happy that I will have a whole new batch to work with soon?
And since I know everybody likes pictures here are a few...
This is the pairs first spawn with me (their previous owner said that they would spawn very infrequently in his tank, about every 5-6 months or something)
This is Melvin and the second clutch
And then today's
