Looking for a place to lay eggs?

[bdare]

I've had my pair for almost 4 years and they've never laid eggs. Am I just getting my hopes up or does it look like mama is looking for a place to drop? Click the image to watch the video.

Cant really tell in the video. She would be cleaning the area before the spawn.

A few questions:
1. Wheres the male?
2. How warm is the water?
3. How many hours are the lights on?

She is doing something, but doesnt look like she is going to lay eggs. Both will pick/mouth at the rocks in the hours before laying. When they get close to laying, you will see their "parts" hanging out.

Sorry, it doesn't look like she is "doing the dance"

Just out of curiosity, what is the optimal temperature? I keep my tank around 79.5 and my lights are on for about for 9 hours a day. I am going to slowly increase the photo period to about 12 hours a day.

Male is usually close by.

Water stays between 77 and 77.8

Running all LED's. Blue comes on at 7:00AM and goes off at 9:00PM. White lights are on from 9:00AM to 6:00PM.

Thanks, I think my clowns are still a little young to lay so I am just trying to fatten them up in the mean time.
