Well just what I need..something else to worry about
as if the seahorses weren't enough for me to worry, Now I am going to have to worry about baby clownfish.
Apparently one of my pairs of clownfish(I think I have 8 pairs now) were jealous of all the attention the seahorses were getting so they decided to lay some eggs.
here are some pics.
I have 14 days to get ready to try yet again to raise another set of babies.
here are some pics.
If I am able to deal with this, I will be starting up a thread on this as well.
I just don't know if I will have the time necessary to deal with it by then.
wish me luck.

(the eggs btw, are the orange blob behind the anemone)

Clowns are a little like rabbits ... they'll spawn every 2 weeks once they start. This won't be your one and only chance ..

Hey Neil, Thats great! I first kept marines in the mid sixties :) :)
I was all we could do then just to keep them alive for a respectable time ,never mind attempting to breed and raise fry.
To return to this fascinating world after so long and witness the tremendous progress made by enthusiasts who readily share their knowledge is very rewarding.
Good luck with the clowns and please keep posting the progress .
.......Dave

Seahorses give birth about every 14 days once they get going too. Be prepared for the next batch to come along soon.
