These rasboras are totally loony

Okay, I am working late tonight and keep getting distracted by weird goings-on in the 10g desk tank. The tank lights are out as I use a timer (algal control and fish well-being). But I can see all kinds of fuss just from the room lights!

Two of the harlequin rasboras are shimmying side by side and tail-bashing each other, bodies semi-arching, then swimming backward together (true) in what I can only assume is the rasbora equivalent of necking. I'm gonna throw some cold water over them if they don't cut it out - I run a respectable desk here.

Anyway, being as though this is just a rasbora and dwarf panda cory tank, what are the prospects of eggs hatching...even assuming the worst? Anyone know a vet who neuters very small fish?
 
The cories might eat the eggs, but I wouldn't be surprised if you found yourself to be a rasbora godfather one morning. :)
 
Lucky duck! They're doin' it. *giggles*
 
They waited until the lights were off. Give them a break. Keep it on the DL. They'd do the same for you.

Nope...I'll send the little tykes off to boarding school and send the parents for counseling in responsible parenthood.

Joking aside, these randy rasboras have REALLY colored up...since I added the bog wood and also I raised the temp by a couple of degrees to 80F...that and the lower pH water from home seemed to have triggered this response.

Nope, now it's lights full on and fins above the covers, where I can see 'em at all times.
