I would like to share the pictures (slideshow) and a video of sexual spawning event of my male BTA.

NICE! Great job taking pictures. Were there any changes made to the tank that may have stimulated the spawning?

Very cool..

No changes as much I know. He was kind a restless last couple of days though, made several attempts to leave his cave, but returned back soon. Now, after spawning, he looks pretty good and satisfied again. :lol:

Wow! I'll have to run the video clip when I get home, but that picture is amazing! Thanks for sharing

Very cool! You gotta tell us if any survive and grow up.

It takes two to start new life. I mean a female for releasing eggs. Recently a frend of mine had a spawning event of female BTA in his tank. The pictures were posted in a Estonian forum here.

Hi there ) Looks like you have a male Bta.

Bta's and Rbta's tend to do their 'stuff' in Spring and in the Fall, although occurrences also occur in other months.

Very cool you were there to see it Now...water change

Best,
Ilham
