Every few weeks my pair of mandarins spawn and every time they do, I say to myself, Self, I don't think a fish could get any more pregnant than her.  But every month, just when  I think she is going to explode, she spawns.
I used to think she was egg bound but she always pulls through and has her babies.  I am not sure if she gets stretch marks or not.

HOLY COW that is wild! Great photos, Paul!

Nylon stocking.  They spawn all the time because of that feeder.  I think I posted that someplace on here.

Those are amazing pics! Have you ever tried isolating them and raising the fry?

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Centuplmom!

I don't raise the fry.  All my paired fish are spawning and do it every month or two including, pipefish, clown gobies, fireclowns, bangai cardinals, watchman gobies, threadfin cardinals and striped cardinals.  Fish are supposed to spawn and all healthy fish spawn.  It would be odd if they did not spawn.

I may design a feeder for Supermodels that would dispense an M&M 3 times a day to feed them.

You can see the eggs just above the clown gobi. (her mate was in OTB while I took this)

That is awesome, so do you have a little "mood music" playing in the back ground 24/7?

Of course you need the music and I let them watch "The Little Mermaid"

:) Little Mermaid. What ever you are playing, it is working!
