Hello, for the last few weeks my pair of Green Mandarin have been going through the paces of their spawning ritual. They seem to only be doing it after lights out (I was anticipating them doing it during dusk phase) so my intrusion with a flashlight may have been ruining the mood. I have not seen the spawning event nor has the female's belly gotten any smaller. I've read that she will release eggs again and again, but for how long? Could it be possible that they haven't spawned yet and are just courting? I have some video, but haven't figured how to post them.
I'm not planning on trying to rear their offspring, at least not yet. I'd like to see them go through this spawning phase so I can observe and be ready for the next event. I've also read that having multiple pairs or at least a pair of females may increase the spawning regularity and the amount of eggs released.
Like everything else, I'd like to hear about it from every angle then do what I think is best.
