I didn't even know the male was holding until I saw a bunch of "greyish worm things" in the tank when I went to feed them. Upon closer inspection they were baby pipefish!!! For whatever reason the male didn't completely release his clutch tonight. The spawning date is approximate...like I said, I didn't even know the male was holding! I really need to be more observant....
