Default I am the happiest reefer tonight ! Dragonets Spawn *EDIT* 3 VIDEOS ADDED Page 2

Tonight at about 11:45pm I witnessed my Male and Female Green Dragonets Spawn. I have seen them swim to the surface many times at night and do spawning actions. But tonight was the first time that my female shot eggs into the water and my male shot sperm. It was honestly the most amazing thing I have witnessed in my aquarium. Then I watched my chalk bass, swiss guard and clowns have a feast .

I know this thread is useless without pics/videos !!!!

I will be at my tank with my camera next time and get a video and post A.S.A.P.

The dragonet spawning "dance" they do is really quite beautiful, isn't it? Congrats. I had a pair of scooters spawn for me once too, really neat to watch.

Thats pretty cool, thanks for sharing.

I've personally had a green wolf eel blenny lay eggs, a tomato clown fish deposit eggs, my sebae anemone release eggs, a turbo snail release sperm, a tiger tail cucumber divided, a green bubble tip anemone split twice, a pocillopora sp. spawned... and my stomatella snails are always going at it. The only times I've ever had anything develop was with the stomatella snails and pocillopora (which must be self fertilizing).
