It’s strange how we as aquarists find spawning behaviour of our fish so fascinating. Perhaps it’s the idea that we never expect to see fish ‘doing their thing’ within the confines of an aquarium. Seeing a pair of fish do the spawning ritual is one thing, but how often do you capture it on film [...]
