Clown Fish Spawning Question

I have no idea. lol

They spend a lot of time in their spot and are often hanging straight up and down, in a nose-dive position. I have no idea what that means. They rub up against each other sometimes and the male does his twitchy dance.

No clue! They are weird. lol

 

I think they're gonna do it!! They're going to make you a mommy!!! Do you have anything ready for when the babies hit the water? Otherwise they would become food. Maybe one of those net hatcheries thingies! I've seen them around and they're not very expensive.

 

Does the hanging in the nose dive position mean anything?! It's a new thing they started doing a couple months ago.

I don't have anything! I need to start doing some research. I'd love to try to raise them! If it even happens lol

 

im no expert but mine do this too, i have also seen them cleaning a rock around a toadstool in my tank, we call it the "electric shock dance" as they look loke they have just touched a wire when they start twitching, im thinking of getting a small tank just incase i see some egg's/babies, but im not sure what the young will feed on if ever they do hatch... fun and very strange to watch though.;D

 

Funny, I just noticed that my clowns laid eggs last night. Hope they don't get eaten this time. Anyone have any tips on how to keep them alive if they do hatch?

 

Unfortunately raising clownfish fry is very involved. It requires quiet a few practice runs just to get the food and feedings down. After a few dozen hatches people usually develop their own recipe, but it takes that many just get a few fry through meta.

 

R you in AZ?

 

Yes surrounding Tucson;D

 

Here is a link I found after my clowns laid eggs about 2 weeks ago.Just looked tonight at the tank with a flash light and there are quite a few babies swimming around.Enjoy-http://www.marinebreeder.org/
