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. Pappa doing his job and tending to the eggs and keeping the water current over them. Close up of the eggs. You can see the eyes beginning to develop.

Dang...was trying to figure out wtf a "nebthet" is.
EDIT: Aha! Google says she is a Greek goddess of some sort. Cool! Last edited by Myka; 07-31-2011 at 12:25 AM. |

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

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.
