Is it normal for clowns to irritate rbta in the area where eggs are? This is something new that they have started to do. They don't let rbta open fully over the eggs

awesome J... are you going to raise them?

 

[ohana888]

nice!!!

 

[jcs11236]

Thanks. No I haven't tried. They lay eggs every two weeks. I tried catching them twice but they die within the hour.

Did you ever try putting the mated pair in a separate smaller tank for breeding purposes?

 

[jcs11236]

No. Never did. Not really interested in raising them at the time. I know a lot of people say your levels have to be really stable for breeding but in the past few months I have changed lighting as well as lighting cycle. I changed out flow from mp10 to just 2 mj900. And I stopped dosing completely. And these two are breeding away still. Lol
