Are my fish getting it on?

[KhensuRa]

I am very new to clown fish love, so am not sure if this is a dominance thing or not. I have had these clowns for about six months and female keeps digging out a hude hole in the sand.

Perv, they like privacy.

You should send a video to vivid, that might be the next big thing.

Bump...

Is there something wrong with my clown? The larger one which I would assume is the female sifts sand like my old sand sifting goby. Is she okay?

It looks like your clowns have found a place to live. Those kinds of displays can go on, well, every day. My clowns never spawn so I can't tell you how close you are.

Love the music to the video, kind of made it a natgeo documentary.

Looks like they are creating a home. Notice how that home is right next to a rock. The rock will be where they lay eggs.
I didn't see any spawning activity in that clip...yet.
I've noticed that most my pairs start spawning by the male nuzzling the females belly a lot. When the female is full of eggs you will know they are
about to spawn. It'll look like she just ate all the food you have.

Cool thanks for the input, I will keep a eye on them.

You'll definately know when they are getting ready to spawn! The female will go along and lay the eggs on the rock and the male will follow her fertilizing the eggs, like follow the leader.
Here's a quick video to give you an idea on how it happens[video=youtube;hvY1zfsu2c0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvY1zfsu2c0[/video]
