WOW! Just witnessed Clowns laying eggs!

[bustayanky]

Just as the title says. I just witnessed my clowns lay their first clutch. I've been noticing them cleaning that particular spot for a few days now. Female is just an Onyx Percula bought 1-2 years back and the male is a doni's reef Grade A Picasso bought 10/02/08. Here's a video of what I caught, Enjoy! I'm super stoked!:rockon::rockon::

Well it's in the main display and they laid it on the rocks... if I could get them to lay on like a clay pot then I might think about it, but with school I don't have time to start breeding clowns.

haha...if they survive in the main display tank. I have some ba$tardA$$ yellow coris wrasses. haha

 

[bustayanky]

Looks like they've hatched...don't see them on the rock anymore

 

[bustayanky]

Well the 1st batch hatched and are gone now since they are in the main tank but now 2nd clutch on the way!

They will not survive in the main display long, maybe just hours. You will need a larvae snagger (this is how I did it), larvae tank and live rotifers.

PS- Congrats on the breeding pair. :celeb3:
