Very se*ual cherry barbs

[fishwatcher]

I have got a couple of pix of my cherry barbs mating. It's so funny to me because for one, I've never had a pair of fish that I actually caught in the "act" and I just got 2 of these yesterday, and the 3rd (fm) today. The male is already macking up on them!
These aren't the best pix, but I thought you might like to see them.
One pair played ring-around-the-rosy around the heater for 10 minutes almost non-stop before they mated, then the male ran off and chased the new girl around until she gave in to his carnal desires too! The pix show the bellies of the fish with the male laying on top of the female horizontally and the male wrapped around the female.

Hope you enjoy! (Go ahead, light one up if you need to!)

can you possibly make them a little bigger (from the original, not just enlargin what is onine)? They are really tiny and hard to see....
