	signs of breeding?
Nick Fish Addict 33 Posts: 553 Kudos: 668 Votes: 509 Registered: 09-Aug-2004	I've noticed in the last few days that a couple of my Harlequin Rasboras are acting strange. I am wondering if they are trying to breed. What are some of the "signs" I should be looking for to determine whether or not this is happening. Thanks all!

I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

So I guess if they are eating the eggs anyways, I don't have to worry about a sudden increase in my Rasbora population! Thanks for the help Robby
