Spawn Details

Pre-Spawn Behavior: |
Male bounces back and forth raising his fin to whichever female is closest. Females push and shove each other around until one leaves.

Spawning Behavior:
|
Male and female couple and raise slowly in the tank.

|
Female quickly leaves the immediate area to hide in the rock work. Male sticks around hoping the other female will show up (I think).
