    LOL you have to read her other thread to understand. This actually started out as a royal gramma thread, turned into kc's job being leaked out(and not giving anyone discounts I might add) and then, well I actually don't remeber the rest.

    eh not to worried about saving the eggs, its a really big rock.
    so your saying they do this constantly after the first batch! which means my other fish and i are going to have to put up with an evil female clown from now on? that's not going to be fun. I guess i spoiled them a bit to much with having only 3 of them in a 3 foot tank.

    The one positive thing that i see out of them making babies is i could say their a mated pair for when i eventually sell them. Although im still confused about the whole pair situation, these two never swim together always apart, but now their getting ready to lay eggs?

    But discounts are good. She seems so nice how could she be mean enough to not give well deserved discounts lol...
    JK...
    I suspect within a couple days, PC's gonna have some babies on her hands. That might encourage her not to move out:cheesy:

    lol shes seems so nice just because she's trying to get people to buy stuff :D hahaha

    and think i should do anything to prepare for the little ones? im getting my moonlights in a couple days, i wonder if that will encourage even more spawning

    Well, hummm, I don't know what to say here except that you would be able to get a better price for the mated pair;D
    If they are indeed in the spawning process, I'd anticipate some constant aggression unless you add something small and aggressive to keep the female at bay like another clown or a dottyback. Be careful with the dottybacks though.
    Like I said, I have no experience with spawning clowns so I don't know what's up with them swimming apart they could be just getting too territorial because of so much room for themselves like you stated;)

    Moonlights may encourage more spawning but I'm not completely sure. The only preparation you need to consider is a small tank w/ heater, sponge filter and some rotifers for when the eggs hatch;)

    A few biologists think it has something to do with the lunar cycle/gravitational pull. I think they might actually be on to something.
