i have a pair of maroons that i that i believe to have laid eggs the male i haven't seen feed for days and they stay hidden most of the day so my curiosity got the best of me and i crawled behind my tank and there are two pink sponge looking spots about the size of a quater each just wondering if that is eggs or not. thanks nate i ll try to get pics but not likely there is only about 12in behind tank
here are some shots of my clowns, there eggs start out bright orange then get darker. but it sounds like they might be? try a few blind shots in the back?

yea our clowns eggs start out bright orange, then get a dark grey color, then youll see little speckles on them... those are eyes, then they hatch.
She usually has another batch ready to lay a few days later, and you can tell when she is prego, very large belly.
she will only lay eggs in 1 spot, not multiple, the male usually stands guard and only eats what flows by the nest. she on the other hand eats like a pig while getting ready for the next batch of eggs.
