My poor little mandarin was chasing some mysis over by their pipe house and got to close. The male gave it a warning, {and of course the mandarin is to stupid to figure it out}. He then got shoved away and not so nice.

Haha! Are you going to try to raise the fry?

Likely not Myka. I would have to restructure the rock support to remove the pipe. Sure is tempting though.

I wonder how they'd ship? Probably like crap!

Ya, to bad I cant get some of them out to you Myka. I may have to arrange the pipe so it can be removed to try raise some. At the moment, its part of the base of the tanks structure.

When I move the clowns back to the cube, {no pipe house}, they never laid any eggs. The same day their pipe was back, they groomed it and she laid them that night. I finally watched the whole thing, with her laying them and then him fertilizing. Amazing to watch.

So my sps cube is designed around their pipe home, for them. Spoiled fish. My pair of chromis & little mandarin are in a separate tub for now and not sure if I will place them back in the cube or just leave the clowns there alone.

Here is a couple pics I tried with my cheapy digital & a mag glass. You can see their little eyes. eggs 008.jpg
