I can hardly believe it! My prize pair of Tomato Clowns have finally laid a small clutch of about 200 eggs on Saturday. I have been waiting a long time for them to get it together and was almost ready to give up on them. Around 3:00 in the afternoon I was working in my garage where I keep them and I noticed that they were swimming differently. I took a closer look and saw bright orange dots on a ceramic flower pot that I placed in the tank several months ago. The female was swimming back and forth close to the pot wiping her belly on the pot with each pass, then the male followed her closely with his "organ/penis?" hanging out of his abdomen and carefully fertilizing the eggs after each row was laid. I went to get my wife and kids so they could see it too. It was the coolest thing.
