Wild Onyx Clownfish. Take 3

I reunited the old pair. They both stopped eating after separation. However both started eating within 5 mins of being reunited. I don't know what to make out of that experience.

Wow talk about haveing a broken heart, so depressed about missing their mate. Glad their eating again

Thanks. It certainly looked like a case of a broken heart. I just want them to get along. They are too close in size and after almost 4 months together I still don't know which is a female and which is male.

My new Solomon Islands breeding pair. The male is Onyx. They belonged to another hobbyist and were spawning in his tank.

I bought these clowns an Innovative Marine Nuvo 16 gallons 2 days ago. My plan was to transfer them there this weekend but that might have to wait. They are showing pre-spawning behavior. I don't want to interfere.

They laid eggs!!! Woo-hoo!!

About two weeks ago I had to put the clowns in the sump of my 60 gallon. There are no pumps in that section and clowns have enough room for themselves. I caught them engaged in what looked like egg laying. However, due to a dirty glass of the sump I couldn't tell for sure. I just looked inside the pot and there is a clutch of orange eggs. Victory!
Here's a crappy video I had to take from afar not to scare the clowns.

My clowns are no longer in the sump. They have been moved to a 16 gallon IM Nuvo. I was happy they found their eggs and continue to care of them in the new home.

Whats the difference between wild caught clowns and store bought clowns?

Wild caught clowns can be bought at a fish store. If you mean tank raised then the biggest difference is lack of deformities.
