My Surprise!! Clownfish laid first batch of eggs!
 

So, I came home today after four days away and when my lights came on and I started to put in some top off water I noticed mamma clown wasn't sleeping in her BTA like she normally does. She was hanging around Pappa clown by the sebae anemone.

Then I decided to take a closer look, and at first I thought they were just algae growth on the rocks and then I saw them move.. and holy crap!!! My clowns have officially become a mated pair!! and have their first batch of eggs. I would have to say they are at least a couple days old as you can see the eyes beginning to develop.


The red circle is where the eggs are.

Congrats grandpa (I'm assuming)!! Great photos of the eggs too!

Grandma actually.. lol.. :)

Dang...was trying to figure out wtf a "nebthet" is. :lol:

EDIT: Aha! Google says she is a Greek goddess of some sort. Cool!

Actually Myka, Nebthet is the Egyptian goddess of the dead.

great pictures! Congrats!

I did read something about Egyptians too...couldn't really make sense of the particular website I was skimming. Sounds a bit dreary! :p

OMG Sarah!.......outstanding pics!!!!.......oh, and congrats:biggrin:

Thanks very much.

I am thinking I might take daily pics of the eggs development while I am home and post them on here for others to see.

That would be great! Would love to see them. Are you going to try to raise them at some point?
