Send in the Clowns - Clown Fish Breeding

[Ross]

Well here goes my attempt at breeding clowns.

My female is Black and White and about 3 years old.
The male is a true Percula, slightly younger at about 2-1/2 years.

They have been tending to laying and protecting eggs since she was about a year old until March of this year. I pulled the rock that they lay their eggs on and transferred it to my grow out tank for the hatching rather than staying up all night. Well, removing their love nest kept them from wanting to get funky until last night. (Sept 16)

This time around, I have rotifers cultured, phytoplankton to feed said rotifers and a 14 gallon biocube set up for the fry to be transferred to at some ungodly hr of the day.

Without any further ado here is night 2 of the eggs with the male diligently watching over them.
