Not sure if it happens first time, but my Bangaii wouldn't keep the clutch of eggs in his mouth for almost a year he either kept spitting them out or eating it.
After a year (they wait until I go on vacation) he goes ahead and hatches them out into the tank <sigh>. Give them time they'll lay eggs again. Practice makes perfect
My clown pair at work lays eggs every couple of weeks. They hatch and then they become fish food.

Eileen, are those at work some of mine? Just curious as it's interesting to keep touch with the 2nd generation spawners.

all the eggs are gone.. Is this normal for first time? How can I prevent this from happening again? Any ideas guys??
I've never bred clowns, but I have some similair experience as yours. I also have a breeding pair of false percs and the exact same thing happened. The first batch just dissapeard the next day. Not sure who ate them. The following batches stayed until hatching. You'll also noticed that each batch will have more and more eggs up to a point. Soon you'll be able to see the eyes through the eggs around day 5 and up. Somewhere around there. They usually hatch in about 7 days. Mines have been laying eggs consistenly every week or two for a year now. It has crossed my mind to breed them, but not at the moment. Mine usually tend to lay their eggs just when the first halide comes on. Just my observation. They always choose the same location it seems like. Mine also have several hosts. The male tends to stay with the gonipora, which is right next to the nest. The female however is funny. She has several hosts. During the day she'll switch between the gonipora and alveopora, and at night she sleeps in the hammer :lol: Good luck with yours. They sure are fun to watch.
