the breeding of clown fish

For clown fish to breed, The male will try to attract a female first, He will do this by "courting", Courting may involve chasing,Biting or extending their fins, Once he has attracted a female he will chase her to the nest he has made and she will lay a hundred to a thousand eggs, The Clown fish will lay their eggs on clear coral or a rock garden beside the sea anemone that they live in. The male clown fish will guard the eggs until they hatch 4 to 5 days after they are laid, Once hatched the male will care for the young until they reach sexual maturity and can go off and continue on the life cycle and find a new anemone to live in..This is how the start of "finding nemo" goes!!
