paul b August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 Every few weeks my pair of mandarins spawn and every time they do, I say to myself, Self, I don't think a fish could get any more pregnant than her. But every month, just when I think she is going to explode, she spawns.I used to think she was egg bound but she always pulls through and has her babies. I am not sure if she gets stretch marks or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul b August 18, 2014 Author Share August 18, 2014 I don't raise the fry. All my paired fish are spawning and do it every month or two including, pipefish, clown gobies, fireclowns, bangai cardinals, watchman gobies, threadfin cardinals and striped cardinals. Fish are supposed to spawn and all healthy fish spawn. It would be odd if they did not spawn. I may design a feeder for Supermodels that would dispense an M&M 3 times a day to feed them.SpawningYou can see the eggs just above the clown gobi. (her mate was in OTB while I took this)These guys spawn all the time.These guys spawned all the time in the 70sBlue devil eggs (circa 1972)Here is the dad over his nest.Watchman with her eggs.Female seahorse transfering eggs to male in my reef maybe 20 years agoPregnant bluestripe pipefish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
