Anyone had their Harlequins spawn? They seem so cute when they're spawning. For anyone who's not seen it, they flip upside down (alarming when I first saw it) and "shimmy" (for want of a better term) under a leaf. They seem quite picky about which leave 
Anyway, sometimes just the female will do this, seemingly polishing the leaf. Often the male will join her and side by side they shimmy, untill the male wraps his tail around her and they are all done.
Whats also amusing is my crafty pentazona barbs. They see this happening and hang around right up close, waiting to catch any eggs. The biggest of my Rasboras, "blinky" (she only has one eye
) seems to be getting a lot of action 
I've also just noticed in the last few days that the males are actually sizing up to each other. Before it seemed quite polite and a couple would just nip off to the bushes so to speak, now I've seen some of the males sizing up and flaring at each other.
I'll try and catch a video
Just thought I'd share!
