White "smoke" coming from my gig???

[saltwaterguy718]

First off sorry for all the newb questions but its my first gig and I just want to make sure I'm taking the best care I can of it. Ok a little while ago when my actinics came on my gig released what looked like white smoke from it, it only lasted a few seconds. Is it a male and trying to spawn? Thought it was pretty cool but also wasn't sure if its anything to be concerned about. Thanks

Most likely he's getting "HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!" in your tank!

Exactly like the video.

Yep. That's a boy and he's spawning. They will sometimes do this in stressful situations, so I'd check everything and make sure all is well.
It does normally have more flow on it than that, right??????

That one for my video was during feeding time. Pumps were all off that time.

Yeah it always has more flow... LOL..

At the same time he was doing that it was also pooping. The clowns were helping it get it out... That is the best way to word it.

I always seem to take most of my video's when the pumps are on feed/slow mode.

+1. Mine stress spawned, but it was only when I transported it from its old home to my tank. Once established it never did it. I would definitely check your parameters to make sure nothing is stressing it out.

Well it's been out of treatment about a week now but I think my clowns where stressing it out, they where relentlessly swimming in and out of its mouth causing it to stay open. I since put my clowns in a breeder box to seperate them from the gig and give him time to heal. It hasn't fully deflated since before treatment but the mouth is open pretty wide. Has anyone ever needed to give there gig a second treatment or does it just need to be left alone? Again sorry for all the questions and I thank you all for the help.
