Snowflake eggs!

I don't really have any intention of breeding these guys but I was so excited to see eggs for the first time after 3 years of having these clowns and needed to share my excitement somewhere.

Congratulations on creating an environment that allows for such an event to take place.
Now you must maintain it!

I thought you were talking about snowflake eel eggs. That would be even more amazing.

I like the peek a boo from the other fish in that photo!

That’s awesome, congrats!

Only tank inhabitants that laid eggs for me was cleaner shrimp. Paired clowns never did it for me.

That's pretty cool too! Did they survive?

Nope! The cleaner shrimp would have the eggs in a clutch below its tail.

Once or twice I saw it at night flinging the eggs into the water column, and from there I think they were just eaten or sucked into the filtration =(

This happened both when I had two and one shrimps - in the former not sure if they were fertilized, in the latter definitely not obviously.

Keep us in the loop if you decide to attempt to hatch and raise the eggs! I've always wanted to try raising them!

Oh that's still pretty neat! I wonder what it takes to breed those
