Hybrid dwarf angelfish doing the mating dance

[george915]

I have a tigerpyge (Centropyge eibli x C. flavissimus) and a blue spot (C. flavissimus x C. vrolki) being together for over 2 months now. Just a few days ago I noticed them doing the mating dance. It's a huge surprise to me. I thought these hybrids are sterilized. :love1:
Enjoy the show. The first few seconds are some still pictures of the parties involved.

Nice! Just to be clear, lots of reef fish can hybridize and then produce fertile offspring, the whole different species can't reproduce and produce fertile offspring isn't true with most fish, especially dwarf angelfish. Frank and RCT has proven this.

Are you sure they aren't showing aggression towards each other?

Trust me, they are doing THE dance. Check out the last 10 seconds or so of the video.
