    What are some signs of a clown about to lay eggs? My female ocellaris has gotten plump over the past few days and has been hanging out in the back of my tank under a overhang. She comes out to eat but stay kinda in the shadows and so does the male.... She is normally the "boss" of the tank.

    Look for them cleaning an area and getting it ready to lay eggs on. on the eve before she lays, you will see a little tube extend down from her that she will lay with.

    That's awesome to know.... I haven't seen her lay eggs, and she slimmed back down ? I did add a lock line return splitter so maybe that had her a little confused? But she seems back to normal? But thanks again for the info.
