When it comes to fish I like to think I have grow patient [and persistent ].I am much more methodical/economical/efficient about much of my activities.
Last time about a month or so ago I left the EBA spawns as I thought I had too many [can you ever have too many ? YES] and some spawning type behavior occurred with the clowns .It was clear the largest of all [female] was being pursued by the largest male with female #2 in tow.As spawn by spawn that I left to the tank passed so did the level of activity with the clowns. I figured there was an easy safe way to test this notion I have... I pulled the last 3 sets of eggs and the behavior went away. I read a report on possibly the only "in home' clown fish spawning and think if I see his behavior again I just want to know who to catch !I hate to say they all look the same but ? Small differences and size should help.. The games have already begun with this first left set of eggs as I hoped so now I watch and hope I see the same spawning behavior again. The report listed parameters and all info needed like feeding , which are not close to the tanks so if I put these fish into my take on soft water and feed similar they may make me very proud ! After 15 years I am already very proud of the clowns.I never imagined a fish living that long for me ! Sini posted an article saying they may live 50 years ! I try to be patient but might not make it another 35 years !
