My clowns are "kissing." What's wrong?

[ivanfj]

I've had my pair of false percs for almost a year and one night I looked at them with the flashlight and saw them doing some "kissing" actions. Are they mating or are they already mated??? I've never seen them did that before and I am just wondering if that's just part of the mating process.

Good chance they're a mated pair....IMO

If they've spawned in the past then they are a Mated Pair. If they have never spawned then the best they can be is a Bonded Pair.

whats the difference?bonding is when they stick together and mated is when they mate?

Exactly

it's like before your mom and dad had you they were a couple; they became parents after they had you.

Hmmm, I believe they are just bonding then. Should I get some LED light to help them spawn or does the light have nothing to do with spawning????

 

[snailheave]

leave them be. you would cry if after adding the LED they stopped doing what they are now.

Light has a lot to do with Clownfish. A steady 12 on 12 off cycle seems to work best. I don't know if moonlights do anything but they look cool.

If nothing else the moonlight might be romantic enough to turn them from just bonded into mated!
