Hello everyone! I am new to the forum, and I have a question about my pair of Percula clowns. I bought both of them together in April of last year, when they were juveniles. I'm assuming this puts them around 1 year old?
My female clown is doing some odd behavior she never usually does. I feel like she is looking for a spot to lay eggs. I have read that clowns like to lay eggs on vertical, flat surfaces. Well I have this vertical rock right in the middle of my 120 gallon 5' tank. She has rarely, if ever, gone over to that area. She and her mate always stay on the far left end...always. The past week or so, she has been swimming to this vertical rock and literally just floating there and eyeballing it all around for 15+ minutes and does this frequently throughout the day (ever half hour or so) It's so odd. She just floats right in front of it and looks at it.
I'm sorry if I am beating a dead horse with this clownfish breeding, but I just want to know if this particular behavior could mean she is thinking about laying eggs on that rock? At what age can clownfish start breeding? Is 1 year too soon?
