impur Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I didn't know if it would ever happen but this evening as Shawn and I were standing in front of my tank I noticed they clowns were acting weird and my coris wrasse was other there bothering them. I said "I wish my clowns would lay eggs, but i don't know if they ever will." About 15 min later sure enough a closer look and they are doing the deed (laugh) I tried wishing for a cool mil in my bank account but it didn't work. Here are a couple pics and a video.

Barelycuda Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Congrats Miles. If you have any questions let me know. Just be prepared for the committment if you plan on trying to raise the fry. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Thanks Dave. There were only about half the amount of eggs when i got home yesterday. Maybe about 20 left. We'll see how they do the rest of the week. If i start to see eyeballs on em i might try to remove that piece of PVC to a breeder basket or something. We'll see!

Jay Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 That was killer. Wish mine would get it on so I can watch....hohoho...that sounds so nasty. Really though...wish mine would. Cool man. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barelycuda Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi Miles, Do you have a rearing tank or any rotifers? If not maybe look into getting some before trying to rear some babies. You cannot rear them in your display tank. They will die within hours do to the strong lights and will typically only eat rotifer for the first 5ish days.

impur Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Nothing currently setup, although it would be a piece of cake to set one up. There are only about 10 eggs left :/ I'm not expecting much on this batch, if i see some eyeballs form i'll attempt something. I might be shooting you some pms in the future though Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
