    i was doing my daily hair algae plucking and i had noticed that my clowns laid eggs again. i didnt think anything of it and continued to pluck out some algae when all of a sudden bam!! my female clown swam over and started biting my hand because it got to close to her eggs i thought it was pretty funny =] just wanted to share

    It's actually pretty difficult to save them. I tried a few times, but just can't be bothered with the amount of work involved. So my clowns just get some nutrition by gobbling up their own babies, lol. They still lay on a regular basis.
