Goldflake & Joculators Spawning - Possibly first time ever captured on video

[o2manyfish]

Earlier this year I caught my Goldflake Angels spawning one night. I have lots of contacts in the hobby and nobody has ever heard of Goldflake Angels spawning in captivity (ever).


Tonight while heading upstairs to bed at midnight I caught the Goldflakes getting a little frisky. I grabbed my cell phone and managed to catch not 1 but 2 pairs of angels spawning - in less than 90 seconds (the video is 100% unedited).


This tank also has a trio of spawning Bellus Angels, a trio of spawning Flameback angels and last week for the first time ever I caught my Venustus angels spawning.


Here's a chance for you to see something that perhaps nobody else ever has until tonight.

Wow....that's a sight to see! Seems the other fish were enjoying some expensive caviar. Do you ever try to save the eggs and grow out any fry?

Thanks for sharing. That's neat to see.

Impossible - 400g tank. Packed with corals (as you can see) and over 150 fish in the tank. No chance to capture the eggs. And I don't have the means or patience to maintain the water quality or produce the various live foods they need to develop.

It's not the tank, I think it happens to everything and everyone who visits Dave's place. Every time I go over to his place I always leave with an unbelievable desire to go home and get frisky with the missus! Dave is the RC's Hugh Hefner. He even walks around in a bathrobe with pictures of horny fish.

Spawn Ranch I tell you. Older reefers should get this, right Charlie, errr Dave??
