Humbug Dascyllus

My last post was about the colour change in my humbugs,Ive had no problems with the fish, they are all doing really well! I have noticed over the last couple of days that the fish have been acting a little odd? One large humbug has been doing a kind of display, I went down to the tank this morning to find a mass of what looks like white eggs on an area of algae,one of the humbugs stays by the eggs all the time fanning them and picking off bits of debris, is it very common for these fish to breed in a home setup? Would value an answer to this query. Blue Tang

I can't comment on how often they breed in home tanks, but it is definitely a positive sign and reflects well on your fishkeeping. Fish don't spawn if they are in ill health or if they are being kept under marginal conditions.

So, keep up the good work BT! :wink:

Yes, it's common for damsels to pair-off and breed in home aquaria. Congratulations, and post a few pics if you get a chance.
