My zebra loaches were kind of dancing. I guess that's the best way I can describe it. Does anyone else's do that? I know they don't mate in captivity... Right?
 
It is the Loachy dance! I think they all do it.
 
:iagree: Loachy dance! My dwarf chain loaches (sids) do it too!
 
My Kuhlis did a dance a week ago. I saw 2 of them swimming in open water, grbbing each other at the mouth and swimming in perfect strokes for a few seconds. Then I saw a spray of green little pellets come out of one of them. It all landed in my Java Moss.

I wonder what happened? :D
 
So if it was mating behavior, do u think mine will breed in captivity? That would be sweet!
 
Where they swimming together in perfect strokes and "holding" each other at the mouth?

I got eggs from Kuhlis and at the time, 3 of them were still gravid, so I just let my fish have green eggs and no ham.
 
I don't know about the mouth thing. I don't remember, but they're in my other tank now with the other fish and lots of cover so I'll probably never know now.
