My brittle stars came out of the rocks to spawn after the temp in my tank went from 79 to 77.1 over the course of 2 hours. My temp is fine now. I had to turn off all pumps for a couple hours to fix a ballast in my lights because of the way my tank is set up. Just thought I'd share this... It was...

I have a relatively new (6 weeks) FOWLR tank. Biocube 29, stock filtration, 15 pounds (or so) of live rock with a few fish and clean-up crew. Great coraline growth, water chemistry looks good, everyone seems happy. Yaay! This morning, I saw a strange stream of cloudy material start shooting out...

One of my Yellow tail damsels has been showing a very keen interest in a small cave in my rock work, visiting it every couple of minutes, could this be preparation for spawning, I've looked as best I can and can see no sign of eggs. I have a short time lapse video sequence of it, but cant post...

Since I've been boarded up safely inside out of the negative numbers today, I've just been gazing dreamily into my tank! My clowns have found my frogspawn and are mildly loving on it. They're contemplating spawning and dancing in different areas of the tank, one of which is under the frogspawn...

Wish I could have gotten a picture of this thing, but I was certainly in a little shock. I've had this organ coral skeleton in my tank for some time now, and it came with all sorts of cool little bivalves, sponges etc... A few nights ago I see this long flat worm, a little green with stripes...

Today I noticed my clowns spawning today... what a wonderful sight. Would love see some of the offspring make it. Any suggestion for someone who was not prepared and has not gone through this before would be appreciated.

Hello all! I have 2 ocellaris clownfish in my 60 gallon tank. I bought them at my LFS when they were an inch long, and now (4 months later) they have grown to 2+ inches, with my female being much thicker and 1/2 inch longer than my male. They have been exhibiting some weird behavior lately; I...

title says it all.... looking for a pair that is spawning

I have had two clowns (f. precula) for a little over a year, I bought them when they were just little and they never leave one anothers' side, until the last few days. The female (larger) clown hangs out in a corner of the tank she has cleaned off almost to the glass. A lot of times I find here...

So I just got my ocellaris clown pair about a week ago. The first day I introduced each other the female was being a little dominant and nipped just a little bit. I thought this might be normal because it's a new tank so she might need to set down ground rules again lol. After that though even a...

Over the last 3 days my pair of oscellaris clownfish have been showing classic spawning behaviour, they have a large clam shell with mushrooms in it which is like their version of an anemone and they have been going behind the shell and showing the spawning behaviour of vertically swimming up...

I've seen this little orange blip on my Astraea snail for the past week and only today was I able to get a real close look at it. Is it a pest? A newborn? or just someone a long for the ride across my tank? Heres a pic.

A Nice video of my wife's Fancy Snowflake clowns spawning.. Thought u guys might like to watch :D

Well I woke up this morning to find all these little white balls/eggs floating in my tank. I tried finding the source and then I saw all of these were actually budding off of my large finger leather. Is the finger leather spawning? Is there any chance that these eggs will survive and grow if I...

Last night my LTA puffed up and spawned for hours... Clouded up my whole tank. Went back to normal after about 4 hours. Scary because I didn't know if it would affect the tank, but very cool. I nursed this anemone back to health about 8 months ago because it was very bleached, its awesome to see...

Well tonight I was looking into my tank to see when my cleaner shrimp would spawn. I saw it fanning its eggs so it got me thinking that they would spawn. Soon enough there were tiny little shrimp larvae all over my tank. I tried catching some and I put them in a in-tank breeder box. I have no...

i have a mated pair of O.C. Clowns, with their own anenome, i bought them two weeks ago.... before i owned them they spawned every 2 weeks, they are in their own 35 gallon tank, they seem happy, yet very shy compared to the clowns in my main display, how long should it be till they spawn again?

Today I saw a huge cloud of milky substance in my tank. I looked around and saw a huge bristle worm slithering around a rock. Then it squirted out more milky substance and I caught the last squirt on video. I knew I had bristle worms in my tank, but that was the first time I had seen one that...

What is my Coral doing? I hope it's spawning and I hope it's a good thing... I recently got this Coral from my LFS about 1 week ago. They had it for a few months and it did very well in their care. Since I brought it home, it has done well and recently very well. As of a couple days ago I...
