    I too have clowns that lay eggs about every 3 weeks.

    I bet that's cool to watch.

    I remember once I was able to see some of my cichlids laying eggs and fertilizing them. With them, they only had about 20 eggs at a time and they kept them in their mouth after they were fertilized. I always thought that they would lay all the eggs, then the male would fertilize them all at once, but it turned out that they did it one at a time, very carefully and methodically. It was interesting to watch.

    Any of you guys try raising them? I have two male seahorses and I want two females to give it a try raising the young.

    That anemone is so big, they could lay 18" in one direction or the other and still right under your anemone... That's a real showpiece in your tank JB. Look at that thing...it takes up the right 1/3 of his tank!

    Lol, yep that anemone is out of control... They lay the eggs on the rock right where the bottom clown is. At night when the nem shrinks up a bit you have a great view of the eggs.
