here are two downloadable files, but be warned....number 1 is pretty large, while number 2 is not so large.

In the first, the wrasses are flashing flirting and dancing. The tank is only half cleaned at the front, so its a little hazy, but still clear:

the second is much shorter. After a few seconds the wrasses meet and hit the surface, releasing eggs.

---watch the chromis, b4 and after...

btw-you may want to turn sound down/off my camera picks up sound very well and it quite loud next to the circulation fans.

Very cool, Paul. I'm still shocked that you are having all this happen in your tank.

me too actually.

That is so great. I dont know how you would catch any eggs though. The cromis are just too fast.

Im not bothered about catching the eggs, its likely that they are not fertilized due to the wrasses being two separate species....though the marine world is the most prolific group of species able to cross fertilize.

---I dont have the time to even consider raising fry.
