what happen to my black clown?

dnsfpl · 04/10/2011, 08:25 AM

recently the female keeps hiding within the rock work
can only locate her during feeding and lights off
the male is secretive, near the female but can still locate him

previously, both of them swims in the open
anything i can do to help?

thanks

Shine a flashlight and look for eggs, they are old enough.
I'm stoked mine are spawning, but it does mean I see less of them, and especially the male, he's always loving all over the eggs, more than the female.
