Spawn?

[chip721]

I noticed my pair of Cinnamon clowns vertically fanning a rock. When they moved, this is what I saw. Are these eggs and if so, do they have any chance of survival? The only other occupants in the tank are a skunk cleaner shrimp, a variety of snails and a few hermit crabs. Thanks.

Babies will be eaten by the parents at the very least.

you may want to go over the the fishbreeding forum and look around MWP has a few great threads going on this exact topic plus your going to need some reading

thats wonderful! If you want to raise them, it is very difficult, but can be done with lots of reading and doing what is needed. They can not live in the tank they are in, the parents will eat them, the filter will get them and they have nothing to eat (they require a very special diet) most people read up on it and try raising after the first batch, and they will lay again, maybe twice a month.

Thanks. I figured raising them was pretty involved. I'm really not prepared to attempt on this first batch. For now I'm somewhat satisfied my tank's reasonably healthy enough to even conceive (smile).
