Soooo I've noticed my clownfish have been acting very odd lately. They stay down towards the bottom of the tank in this one corner most of the time, and when i put my hand in, the female darts into this little cave like thing that the rock makes, and the male hovers above waiting to attack me should i come any nearer. however, i have read that it is normally the male that sticks to the site, and the female that chases away predators. i may be getting confused though, since the 2 clowns are very close in size. it's hard to get a good look at the rock in question, but i did notice the one that stays down there has been picking at it as if cleaning it. i would like to get them an anemone, but until i get new lights, it's out of the question. also, when i had one before, they showed no interest whatsoever in it.
does anyone have any experience in breeding occ. clownfish? i've bred cichlids and of course livebearers before, but this will be my first saltwater breeding experience. one of the clowns is noticably rounder, but they both just seem really skittish. they are about 2" each. i've had them for coming up on 2 years in Feb. and they were about 3/4" when i got them (sooo cute!). the only other fish in the tank is a pearly jawfish (who is eating flake food AND being hand fed!) thanks for any help!
