I came home from Tahiti and a Pajama Cardinal had a mouth full of eggs! Yeah! I got them last october and have never seen this. Maybe they just needed privacy, since we were all gone for 2 weeks!
I sent bobz a PM and he gave me some low down on the egg stuff. Thanks bob:thumbs: I tried to catch and saperate him, but couldn't. So, after a week the eggs had been spit out in the night and he began eating.
I will keep watching now that I know they are spawning!
I am new to the "breeding" thing, but have 3 mated pair of clowns and appreciate any and all help/info from everyone. It is much needed and welcomed! :yes:

If you can find a copy of Matt Wiittenrich's book:The Complete Illustrated Guide to Breeding Marine Aquarium Fishes
http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Illustrated-Breeders-Marine-Aquarium/dp/1890087718/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1250338826&sr=8-1

It will give you the most complete explanation and how to guide for raising larva, rotifers, and has a species by species account.

They actually carry that book at Petco pretty often!

I will have to wait and read that. But I will have to catch him, which is the hardest thing! They will just be eaten otherwise!
Thanks!
Hey Kelsey, where's my colorful or white carpet anemone?

As far as I know, they've still been having a hard time getting them though. The last ones I saw were tiny and ugly and still the same price.
