okat well i got a huge spawn from my koi pair flame and ember that covers 1/4 of the slate. problem is i didnt see it happen and now that  watching ember is on the completely oppisite side of the tank. hasnt been over there once... watch this go to waste with it not being fertilized... dumb fish. females doing a great job fanning and being protective. guess I'll just have to wait and see :-\

After spawning the males are dispatched to guard the territory.....he'll be back over there, if she lets him
