Newstead Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 My 7 year old pair of clowns shocked me tonight by actually raising a clutch of eggs to hatching. I did notice that for the first time after spawning that the male spent more than a day fanning the eggs. He has been with them 24/7 for 8 days now. Sure enough, when I checked the tank with a red flashlight 2 hours after lights out, there were at least 4 babies, about 1/8 inch long, attracted to the light. So now I feel guilty that I wasn't prepared for them, and in fact, other than to avoid the guilt, have no desire to try to raise them in the future. How do you deal with spawning pairs if you don't want to try to raise the fry? Quote Link to comment
