I only managed to get one decent shot of the egg release. You can see them above and to the left of the vernatid snail.


Some shots of my hooded fairy wrasse enjoying the proceedings.

That's definitely interesting.

Have to ask, though....

How do you know what's male and what's female?

Awesome shots!

I've seen this happening in my tank before, with only two snails releasing gametes... but was not fortunate enough to have a camera nearby. How long did they proceed for? It was about 3 or 4 minutes when I watched it in my tank.

The spawn lasted for about a 1/2 hour.

Cool! I must have been catching the tail end when I saw it.
