Clownfish Eggs

I thought I would share a picture of the eggs my Clowfish laid. The silver dots are their eyes. My clownfish are from Kirklins Clownfish and I bought them at a Springfest many years ago. I have not seen them lay eggs before although I am sure they have been. I have a lot of rock in my tank so I always assumed they were laying where I could not see. This time they did it in plain view on the underside of a flare nozzle. I probably should have tried to raise them. Maybe another time since I am not prepared this time. The photo is taken under actiinics which is why it is so blue, it also highlights the eyes and makes them more visible. In the picture of the eggs that is closer up you can see two eyes on some of them that are facing the right angle.

 

Interesting, maybe I should try some of the fertility frenzy. Mine have been eating GIRS food along with various other foods they will eat anything I feed them. I am sure diet makes a difference. You will have to let me know how yours are doing. I would like to raise some, at least once, just for the fun of it.

 

I sent request in to clownfish breeding USA and clownfish breeding global. Later I when I have time I will start checking out forums. It would be very cool to manage to save and raise some of the eggs instead of having them be clownfish food!
