Clownfish spawning

[jaa1456]

I was looking at the tank today and noticed they were doing their little dance. No eggs as of now, they might not be mature enough yet. The male is an Orange Occelaris and the female is a Black Occelaris.

They will do their dance (aka seizure) long before they are ready to "mate"....but its def a good sign. Best of luck

Unless you mean you watched the male (so ive ben told, I thought it was both male/female) clean a spot on the rocks for a clean place to lay eggs, then forget I said anything.

yea mine have been doing the "Harlem shake" for a while now too, the rock cleaning is the official sign id say. those babies are going to epic tho! my pair is one regular and one naked so im hoping for sigle striped babies, and 2 striped. the oddities are the sellers lol

Mine shook and danced and cleaned a rock for a year before they laid any eggs.
The best sign was when one beefed up. Like 50% increase in size.

Yea the male was cleaning the rock, I never had a pair of clowns before, mostly because I just never liked them. And I never did any research into them spawning until I saw them doing what you guys call the "SEIZURE" dance lol. The spot he has been working on is on one of my largest rocks with about 100 Zoas and an Acan on it. I wish he could find a smaller rock so if they do lay eggs I can pull them out.
