Mating Season

[Pants]

I have all mated pairs in my tank (2 bangaii cardinalfish, 2 ocellaris clowns, 2 yellow watchmen gobies). The cardinal fish started breeding right away. But just the past month we got our first clownfish eggs (well the first we saw before they got eaten), and now we have observed the first goby eggs (though it would have been easy not to see them). Also we have snail eggs (haven't seen that since soon after adding the cleanup crew). It seems like everyone is very happy right now.

 

The clownfish eggs got eaten pretty quickly (cardinals kept nipping at them until it became detached).

 

The Yellow watchmen eggs seem to be well protected so I imagine they will hatch. The two gobies rarely leave their eggs.

 

It is just sort of exciting so I thought I'd share.

Congrats on all your pairs, but especially on the YWG!
