Indecision may or may not be my problem.
Congrats, you're almost a clownfish father!
How old are the clowns? I agree that she looks a little preggers. My female is almost 2.5 years old and she is just now starting to act like the hormones are raging, raging against everything in the tank that gets near her

Hope so! A little over a year. They keep playing with my feelings! Haha

Was just about to give up and put the two back in the DT (QT from ick ended a week ago). Wife even said it wasn’t going to happen. Woke up this morning, fed them and was going to do it, but decided to wait a little longer since they were happy in the 20G (all by themselves now that the rest were back in DT).
Went in after dinner to feed them and...
I’m going to be a father (?). Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll catch this batch in time because of holiday travels ahead
Hope that doesn’t discourage them from trying again!

Usually the first batch is a bad one as they are trying to get it down.. they will eat the bad eggs if there are any...

Note you seperate them the night of hatching. Before then keep them together so the parents keep them oxygenated and clean out the bad ones

how big was the tube? because both my male and female have theirs down right now but they looks like little nubs not nearly extended to what im thinking they should be anyways... and have been like this for 3 days now! stop playing with my emotions!Have my paired clownfishes in a QT right now and had noticed:
Is that a ovipositor or just a dirty poop chute ?
Thanks (been hoping she’d start laying eggs - had false hopes before)

Haven’t seen any for some time... until about a week ago. Now what’s left is a real life Finding Nemo - with only one egg
Feel a little silly (and wasteful) for going through the effort to raise one egg - but I also feel like I have to try!

I would say so. Make sure tho to keep him in water when you transfer.
I think he may be ready for his new tank... not sure when to pull the trigger

So bummed - Nemo got to almost 8 weeks and woke up to him dead No idea why - Ammonia and SG is normal; was eating.
In the meantime - have had 2 more clutches and none have had any viable fry. Got one in the tank right now but they seem to not want to hatch either. Turn silver, but then start turning a blurred grey.
