I finally was able to film my dragonets spawning 2 weeks after I first witnessed them do it

I filmed the videos on my Cannon G9 in high resolution mode under actinics. P.S. turn your volume down videos are kinda loud.

Video #1 Foreplay

Video #2 The big show ! but its hard to see the eggs(aprox.100) & sperm in the water.

Video #3 I tried to film the eggs but... well you will see

My green mandarins spawned and then when this became regular, my female died. She was quite plump, and just dropped dead.

I will be very interested to see how yours do.
