Spawn Details

Pre-Spawn Behavior: |
social animals, they enjoy each others company. Morning time they are the most Active, A little touching (hitching to each other), colors intensify.
|
|
Spawning Behavior:
|
Lock tails and "Dance" in the water coloum. Male seems to be more aggressive hitching to female. I have not seen the actual egg transfer with this pair.
|
|
Post Spawn Behavior:
|
social animals, they enjoy each others company. Not as "flirty" with each other but still say "hi" to each other when the lights come on
