Clownfish laying eggs

Recommended Posts

More of an fyi....Two years ago this coming March i purchased two ocellaris clowns from Booyahs at our frag swap.  Both were of unequal size.  Pretty docile for the most part until this last yr as the female decided to nip at my hands when cleaning  the glass.  For such small fish (which have grown a great deal) they have a nasty bite even through latex gloves.   I had wondered when they would become sexually mature and have read it can take 1-2 yrs.   Thats pretty accurate as i noticed this evening a small clutch of eggs on the seal of the tank.  This is the first clutch of eggs i have seen. They host in a zoa colony which has really taken a beating the past month.  I have no interest at present to raise clownfish, but can say it almost took two years for sexual maturity.
