green chromis spawning

Post by Archie » Wed Sep 29, 2010 2:16 pm

had a pair of green chromis spawn on one of my derasa clams yesterday. they are the white appendages in picture.
did my best to take a picture, camera can not zoom in close enough.
these eggs are small. half the size of a clown fish eggs.
eggs are not in a tight clutch, they are spread out on one side of clam

Looks like some sort of venereal disease...
I remember the pictures from health class, and I swear it looks the same, lol

actually yes, when gerwin came by the other morning for coffee we noticed the usual ritual that spawning fish usually perform.
then he noticed the spawning tubes on two of the chromis, and the rest was history.

Now that is a pretty cool looking fish.
One day I will graduate to a salt water tank. I know phisher lives close by me...may have to go snoop around his tank a bit and build up some knowledge/confidence so I can convince my wife it is a good thing :)

Reefs and saltwater fish are so much prettier than artificial reefs and tiger barbs :)
