another peacock gudgeon breeding journal

HOUSTEN WE HAVE EGGS!!!! Ok, so just when I had almost given up and thought maybe my fish were just on a vacation in PVC land, I dropped some bloodworms in, look in and eggs are flying everywhere. So, of course I got a video clip lol. I will update more when the female has finished and been kicked out of the tube. For now, here is my spawning video:

Thanks!! I am super excited! Now I just hope I can get them to hatch. :)
 
apparently some people cannot see the first video up there, so here is my second attempt:

So, after finishing the actual spawning last night, the male kicked the female from the tube. She became super insistant in wanting to go back in, so I eventually had to pull her to a different holding tank. My BNs then decided they wanted to play on and around the tube and try to get in the tube as well, so daddy gudgeon (El Jefe) beat up my male BN. When I woke up this morning, the BNs had rolled the tube all the way to the other side of the tank, but daddy is still in there guarding and fanning. Here are today's pic updates:
