Random acts of behavior in Percula Clown(s)

[norelius]

Hey, I have read up a little on this, but wanted to know what you guys have to say about this. I have 2 true percula clowns that are adapted very well to my rose anemone. I have had them for about a month now. In the past few days i noticed they are shaking aggressively near the sand blowing it away to make a dent or hole in the sand. Im not sure if it is only one, or both since they look exactly the same. They are about 1.5 inches long from tip to tail. Could they be mated? They are also swimming under the anemone and sucking up the sand and blowing it away from the rock that the amenome is attached to and shaking underneath the anemone. I m curious as to what this could lead to. Do you think they are going to breed? Thanks for the info! James

sounds like it could be the start of mateing and submission behavior, it could also be determination of sexes as well . If they do mate sucessfully and have eggs that hatch be ready to move them)babies) to a nursery and feed rotifers wich is all they eat good luck :mrgreen:

I think Sadie hit it with an early breeding/mating behaviour. It could also be a who is going to be dominant ritual. Let us know what happens.
