Persistant Percula Parents

[robertifly]

These guys started to procreate about 2mos. ago and have laid 4 clutches of eggs the last 3 have been in the same spot on the back tank wall. I know the eggs don't have a chance in a mixed tank and I'm not going to try to hatch/raise because of the special requirements. I am just wondering how many times they lay and how often. I'd say this pair is about 1.5 yrs. old, thanks.

Nice looking pair.

I would expect that they would lay about every 2 weeks or so - give or take a day.

Has for how long, as long as you keep them healthy and happy, I would guess at least 10 years of spawning.

Very liekly that they will lay for a long time.I know that they are very long lived fish!

Thanks Todd. They really are kind of neat the way they hang together, bobbing up and down, even when the tank is dark. I do not have an anemoe but when I had a bta they never even looked at it. Not needed for happiness :)
