It's right up there up on the list of the most amazing things I've ever seen lol. One of the holding maingano spit into some fake low "growing" plant stuff (kinda like a carpet)that I had put in the tank along with a pile of black rocks for spitting a few days prior. She only spit a few 4-5 the fist spit. Most of them went right down into the plant but one kept trying to get back into her mouth. She kept backing away from it but finally gave in and let it back inside her mouth. After chasing some other fish away from her spot she went back and spit again. There was even more than the one she let back in come out the second time. I had to leave for work so couldn't finish watching but what I did see was simply amazing. :dancing:

It's sort of neat to see but it's almost anti-climatic really :) weeks of holding and boom... little fry darting for cover as fast as they possibly can...

still a neat sight and I'm glad you caught mom in the act!
