We could tell our bolivian rams were getting ready to spawn, but we've never seen it happen. It's always happened at night, or while we're at work. So tonight when we got home we saw them acting a little strange... Here's the proof!

Here she is digging the nest:

Why is she doing all the work?

She looks like she knows what she's doing...

Looks like it's coming any time now...

But why is she hiding now?

Ah, because of him...

Now at this point every time the female (we'll call her Brenda) would get cose to the rock and nest, the male (let's call him Ross) would chase her to the otherside of the tank. There was a standoff for about 15 minutes, but then we saw this...

They made up!
