I'm not really a voyeur, but when my yard mowing was cut short by a thunderstorm yesterday I happened to catch these two in the act.

These fish have proven to be a very active young pair of ABN. Put them together late Feb 2014 and they have spawned 04/10/2014, 05/01/2014, 05/19/2014, and 06/17/2014.

I had seen them preparing to spawn, but not the actual event. It looks as though she produced a few more eggs this time. They have been producing about 40 fry per spawn.
