Thanks!

 I actually forgot to mention that these are a captive bred pair from SA.  I have actually seen them carry a lot more captive breed fish lately.

Any idea how old they are?  I have 3 Sumatran Fire Clowns right now myself...2 as a pair, and a 3rd spare that I'd pair up ideally with offspring from the first 2.  They seem to be in no hurry to spawn...

Unfortunately, I didn't get that information.  I do think that it is going to be awhile before they spawn.  I think they are still pretty young.
