Spawning Mandarins
 
I have a male & female mandarin pair that never really seemed to even acknowledge each other but tonight just before lights out I noticed them doing a spawning ritual. They were so tight together they looked like they were joined at the hip as they swam up and down. (ok I know they don't have hips) Well I guess they were more belly to belly & sometimes side by side but always touching each other which is not an easy thing to do in a high flow sps tank.:wink: Anyway it was very interesting & cool to see so I thought I'd share.

Greg I have always wanted to watch a pair do there dance, any photos or video? They must be so happy with there new living arrangements that it enticed them into the mood. Bigger tanks FTW!
