My Reef Aquarium, Baby Clowfish Coming

[iamn8]

I'm very excited! My Goldflake Maroon Clownfish, which I've had for more than a few years, has reached maturity. Last night I found she has laid her first eggs. This being her first time, they're unlikely to hatch successfully, but now that she's reached maturity, she'll lay them fairly frequently. Baby clowns are coming! Very curious to see what the male, a gold stripped maroon, and the female, a Goldflake Maroon, will produce. Should be interesting!

The male & female together. The female protects them for the first couple days then the male takes over. Eggs hatch in 8-10 days.

Will you be handing out cigars ? :rofl: I miss my aquarium, relaxing.

To everyone who's here for the birth! All I've got though are OpusX, Monticristo #2's, and Partagas series d n4's. Sorry.

What a lovely fishie! Give her a hug for me?

Very cool Nate. I hope some of the hatchlings survive. Keep us posted.
Makes me miss having an aquarium for sure. ::

That's really cool, looking forward to future updates. I'd love to keep fish but I just don't have enough free time for the maintenance.

Very cool Nate. I'm quite jealous. I've had quite a few tanks over the years and always wanted a saltwater tank. Kudos.

Very cool!

As a kid I had a small tank with guppies, and then got so excited when they had babies, that I ended up with multiple tanks full of guppies having more and more babies. Those things were like rabbits.
