Maroon clown Born laid eggs

[qwertman321]

Hi guys , my maroon clown gave me quite a surprise when i saw a patch of eggs sticking on the rocks

I would like to ask isit normal if the eggs are yellowish golden color ? i thought usually eggs are transparent?

freshly laid eggs are not transparent. only when they are matured then they turn colourless and then only you can see the eyes from the baby fish inside.

but some fish like angels and wrasses, tangs etc, spawn colourless pelagic eggs.

to my limited knowledge on fish lifecycle, usually colourless eggs are laid by fishes that spawn by releasing their eggs in the water and letting the eggs float away.

Yup. New laid eggs are not transparent. Yellow and redish is common. Congrats on getting a mated pair of maroon. Will u be trying to raise the hatch?

A gd reference on the breeding if interested.
