Mating Behavior?

My Ocellaris clowns are acting wierd. The female is chasing the male and the male is vibrating. The clowns always swim around the frogspawn but today while i was watching. the male actually put his whole body inside. Are they going to spawn? And if she starts getting fat how long before she lays the eggs?

Thanks-Blake

Right now it's nothing that says spawning. Odds are they hadn't really decided who was male and who was female before if you'd never seen the vibrating and are now solidifying their roles.

The male hosting the frogspawn has nothing to do with mating in any way.

They ahve been in there for 4 months and have been in the all fish tank for about 2-3 years. They know their roles beleive me.

Still nothing that signifies they'll be spawning any time soon, IMO.
