OMG My fish are breeding

I am sorry if I was mis-understood. I was trying to be cute in the title.

My female has been laying eggs for 20 years and for 17 with this male.

I thought about 3 years ago they had stopped laying eggs because she was getting too old. But I was wrong she is still laying viable eggs for at least 20 years.

That's awesome! I believe Frank Baensch wrote about Clownfish laying for 24 years or so in one of his books. I'd try to look it up for you, but his books are horrible to try to find stuff in. Haha

Can you imagine how many clownfish babies have hatched into my tanks over last 20 years. Conservatively they lay several hundred eggs at a time and during their prime they would probably lay eggs at least a half dozen times a year.

If I had have raised 1/4 of these babies I would have saturated the clownfish market for Canada.

I wish it was easier to breed the clowns. That being said I don’t know what one would do with all of them as there are only so many people that would buy clowns ha ha.
