She is definetly fatter this morning than she was last night. If my LFS is open today (I think they're closed mondays), I'll take a ride and see what they have for the babies to get started. they specialize strictly in Marine, so I hope they have live food for the fries. If not, i'll order online. I'll also pick up the book there if they have it, or one similar to help me out.
I've been finding homes for my bettas so I have room to add a 10 gal fry tank with my 5 gal that I will be tearing apart. I may bring some back to the petstore if I cant find homes.

she's been picking at areas, but not cleaning it up.
so humans and fish arent so different after all
good luck with the eggs

lol, not quite 
forgot to mention, she's been spitting sand out of the terracotta pot, so Im thinking she selected that as her nesting spot. I saw her spit sand out from there earlier this morning twice in a row, then swam away. (Im at work, so I cant see it now, lol)

lol, me too. Its one of the best clownfish pictures I took she's roly poly.
she's been in and out of that terra cotta pot quite abit tonight, so Im thinking the next few nights I'll be seeing eggs. The dude at my LFS has been very helpful in telling me how to set up the fry tank and such. They dont sell Rotifers though, so I'll have to buy it from somwhere
