I have had my 2 fancy ocellaris since they were both in the un-decided gender stage of their lives. Yesterday the female looked fatter than usual and today she looked huge. I just caught her about an hour ago swimming around a small batch of eggs. "Fancy" occellaris clownfish are like regular occellaris but they get THICK black on them where the normal occ. clowns have thin. These are not solid black like black occ. though. As they age the blacks gets darker and thicker.

Here are some pictures

i had a pair that started out with really small batches too... start beefing up the parents. the batches should get bigger each time. they are beautiful clowns, i'd look forward to seeing the offspring.
