Black Clown Fish Eggs

Our black and white clown fish FINALLY laid eggs after 18 months! It takes 8 days for them to hatch, so we will have to see what happens next Saturday. They appear to all be fertile. I will try to stay up to date with picture taking (not that you really care!) so you can see the changes as they go.

If you feel like you are playing Where's Waldo, they are bright orange eggs, sort of centered in the pictures.

Mom and Dad.

Big mama. She is in charge of guarding the nest.

Proud papa. He is in charge of keeping water flow on the eggs. He will fan them with his fins, and also touch them with his mouth.

Cleaning those eggs.

We have 8 days to decide if we want to raise this clutch. We don't have everything ready, so it may have to wait until next time. After they start to lay eggs, they do it every 12 days. Should be pretty exciting!
