ok so i was sat watchin tv in my front room and i noticed the dojo's where more active. swimming around pretty fast. so i watched them for a while and took some photos. the biggest is a female and i have one more small dojo, and 2 small males.
one of the males, the yellowest one, was swimming around with the big female until the curled around her. i tried getting some photos of this but they're too fast! whilest the male was curled around her, the seemed totally paralysd. as the male let go, she woke put. and it happened again and again.
the males swim around as if they were looking for her and as soon as one of them find her, this happens again, mainly with the yellowest one.
the greenest dojo, the other male, swims around looking for her too but usually finds the other smaller female. they swim around but never "curl."

anyway, heres some photos i took. they are in the awful quality catagory of photos but still:

you can have a few of mine if you want lol
they are definatly spawning or something because lastnight i was watching it all happen again and the big female seemed to release sme eggs when she was being curled around by the male. i ran to get a glass so i could scoop the eggs out and put them out of reach of the angels and whiteclouds as i saw these eating the eggs but they had already gotten to the bottom. hopefully ill be quicker tonight or when it next happens :/
