I starting puzzled that Romeo, (male ocellaris) been stay one corner near the glass tank. since three days.. Juilet, female been swimming around. I don't know why he stayed all the time, I decided to check it out and saw some black dots on the glass and Romeo been shield them.. so its possible that black dots are babies? need let me know so I can shut down one powerhead and leave one powerhead to operate. That eggs are near overflow box, how I can to prevent eggs goes to overflows..
any idea? I am open to this.....
Of Course I am freaking... but very curious about it... I would do something for boths..

If the eggs are black , how can you see black eyes ?
Ocellaris clowns lay orange eggs , not black or brown . Is there any other fish in the tank . If they were eggs the fish would be fanning the eggs .
