there is no way to tell this. It could be a very long time beofre they spawn. up to a year. If they are geting ready after lights out or close to it they will do the "dance" and soon after lay the eggs. its best to LEAVE THEM ALONE shining a flash light every ten min to check on them IS NOT helpful. I know it sucks but the best bet is to just wait. one day you'll get up and find eggs. MAYBE

I guess I'm just a tad tired tonight, I could have said "you'll have to just wait and see" to Clown123 but I was tired of repeating it. You'll have to do a search on the last posts hes created and all the advice people have already given.
My appologies clown123, the whole pushing fish to breed in a new tank doesn't sit well with me.

We thank you all though.
No No not at all, like I said.... The same question asked by different posters is one thing, but when the same poster keeps asking the same question and we keep answering it the same way it gets a tad frustrating.
I'm far from pro, I'm in the hobby about a year and a half and just happen to have a pair of clowns so I have experience in this one little part of the hobby.
Clown123, I'm not upset with you I'm just frustrated that it seems like your not reading what we are trying to tell you.

Will paired clowns generally mate in a normal healthy saltwater fish tank? Or do they "do it" under special circumstances? I am just asking because I have a pair and never really thought about it..

So it's good to overfeed clowns if you want them to spawn? And how do you tell if it's a male and a female?
