I could shoot my phone right now. Took a 3 min long video of my topminnows courting and spawning and poof, video is gone. Anyway, it was real interesting. I have a pretty good sized plume of hair algae growing near my filter and they kept going back in it and doing the shimmy. I thought they were getting stuck in the filter intake but when they swam out and the male had his operculum flared and kept chasing the females I realized what was going on. Well, wish i had a video! Maybe they'll keep it up for a while and I can get one again. Here's to hope.
