Afternoon or early evening. This sounds like a comedy answer, but it isn't! If you mean, in what season or what time of year then there's no answer. They breed when they are ready. If you get a pair and put them in a tank, expect spawning after 1-12 months - there's no way to be more definite. But they do tend to actually mate in the late afternoon. Spawning can then re-occur every 12-18 days afterwards.

Clown fish, when born, are all male. Once they reach the age of maturity, the most dominant fish undergoes a sex change and becomes a breeding female. The dominant remaining male will then spawn with her. Should the female die, the dominant male will "become" female to replace her.

How many eggs do fishes lay?

The answer to how many eggs does a fish lay really depends on the type of fish that you are asking about. Some species on lay a few dozen while others will lay thousands in order to try to ensure their species survival.Fish can lay 2-500 eggs at a time, it depends on the species. That's why there are so many fish in a school of fish!Usually, about 50-200. The fish lays eggs in a simple way. Take the salmon for example. It makes a nest with it's tail then the male fertalizes the eggs and she lays them in the nest. The female die shortly after spawning(laying eggs). That is how this fish lays eggs. Actually, it depends on the fish. Some fish, like salmon, lay only a few hundred eggs. But generally, marine fish lay more eggs. Some marine fish lay millions of eggs.50-200 (usually)

Most fish lay eggs that are externally fertilized. This means that the female fish releases her eggs into the water, where they are fertilized by the male fish's sperm. The fertilized eggs then develop outside the female's body until they hatch.
