I have had my clowns for just shy of two years now and they have just laid eggs! I noticed them picking at the rocks for the last few months but it wasn't until a couple of days ago they were frantically picking at one area. I thought maybe they were preparing to lay in a few weeks but I checked an hour later and here is what I saw :D

Mine get eaten by the corals as they hatch just after sunset.

They are great to watch aren't they !!

My kids were looking at some of their Woolworths animal cards last week - they had one on clownfish and it had some information on their eggs. I told the kids to look in the tank and ... the clowns were laying eggs :)

Well the first batch of eggs didn't even last a week, most were gone after the first night. I guess someone got hungry :rofl

I'm not surprised, those clowns are little fatties! :p

Sometimes the parents will eat the eggs - usually after a few attempts they will learn what to do.

Had a second batch of eggs laid earlier this week with the same result.

Nothing seems to cure the post sex hunger like bacon and eggs, maybe with the lack of bacon they give up on this

 

[Buddy]

Could be! I am happy for them to keep eating their kids lol

almost every time mine make a bigger patch. And they keep cleaning more rock area like little gardeners.

 

[Buddy]

Another batch, probably twice as big as any other batch they have had. No eggs have actually managed to last long enough to hatch yet.
