[Woodstock]

It is time to begin keeping track of my trials and tribulations, and (hopefully) successes in rearing babies from my picasso clownfish pair.

I am very excited about this and am up to the challenges that await me! Although I am just now starting this thread, I have been completely immersed in learning how to rear them. Reading, reading, reading, reading...

Recap:
I have had my clowns for approx one year. I purchased them from different local fish stores in my area. The male was a juvenile and lacked the black coloration but has since colored up nicely. The female was much older and already had very nice tri-coloring of orange/white and black.

They first spawned 5-26-08 but the female didn't do such a good job laying the eggs and they floated away

The second spawn was yesterday, 6-8-08. The female did a much better job and the eggs were layed successfully on a piece of clay pot I placed over their previous spawning site.
Although the male began eating the eggs at first, he did eventually stop (thank goodness) and as of this morning, there are at least 100 pretty orange eggs
Both the male and female are now tending them and with the help of the haddoni carpet anemone, the eggs are very safe from other fish eating them.
