Last night as I was cleaning the front acrylic I noticed the sixline was doing her potbellied mating dance again and the 8 line was flashing.....

well.....I also had fresh batteries in my camera so i managed to get a mini video of the whole event and actually recorded the spawning. I have yet to upload the video, but the female led the male upwards then they both broke the surface, almost leaping from the tank.....and then they split apart and went their separate ways. Im unsure if you can see any eggs at all, but she was a whole lot slimmer after that event, so the eggs went somewhere...maybe trapped in the surface tension of the water.

Ill upload the video later today and see what it looks like.
