Baby Clown ????

[bunnyl99]

I have 2 perc clowns for months now. Noticed the one got bigger than the other. Now the belly is bigger too? Expecting babies???? Help me! I have no idea if this is the case, and if so, what to do?

this morning my clown didn't look as fat?

not sure about it but sounds like they may be trying do u have anything they can host? they might try w/o a anemone or coral

 

[bunnyl99]

I kind of thought the same thing. I do not have the lighting for corals. I have a FOLR tank. They seem to hover in the crevace of the live rock

 

[jakebtc]

have any other predatory fish in it ?

 

[bunnyl99]

I have a 125 gal FOLR 2 camel back shrimps, 1 cleaner shrimp, 1 red serpant star, 1 choc chip star, 1 red general star, 1 coral beauty, 1 heniouchus, 1 tomato and the 2 clowns. Oh and 1 feather duster

sounds nice dont know but with that tomatoe and angel and all may not be successful if they are tryin but let us know what happens

 

[bunnyl99]

Do I need to provide them with anything since I don't have an anenome?

 

[jakebtc]

sounds to me like its kinda to late to start messin w/ em now but im no expert i would just watch em and waite it out maybe in the future get em some mushrooms hehe

 

[bunnyl99]

didn't think I could have mushrooms in my tank cause of inadequate lighting. I'm running 2 actinic 03 and 2 10,000K's. Are there mushrooms that do not require alot of light that the clowns would take to?

 

[jakebtc]

you'd be surprised what mushrooms will grow in if water parameters are good how many watts what size tank?

 

[bunnyl99]

My tank is a 125 gallon.
