A. akindynos spawn..... no eggs!? - Monday, February 7, 2011 8:13 PM

Making my rounds in the fishroom today and noticed my A. akindynos spawning.

Since it was there first spawn, I expected it to be "disorganized" but what I didn't expect was... no eggs!  Anyone have any ideas as to why?  They "spawned" for hours.  Was it a practice run?

Did the anemone get them?  Or did they lay on the anemone?  I see them on the intake/outlet tube, but can you check the anem?  Or could have just been a test run to see how you'd respond

I'll take a peek at the anemone for the heck of it, but you are right, they were spawning on the drain.  One other thing I did notice but thought "na" was every time she made a pass, "stuff" started floating in the water column.  Suppose the eggs didn't stick?  The reason I thought it was doubtful was the "stuff" was more white in color; not the orange that I would expect.
 
Very well could have been... let's psych this chick out.

don't know if "congrats" is the right word..but clearly a step in the right direction.
