The reason the fish barely touch is because fish use external fertilisation to reproduce. The eggs and sperm are dispersed in the water, and the sperm cells swim through the water to reach the eggs. This is done in many water animals due to the fact that sperm cells can’t dry out as fast in water as in land.
I always thought about Disney making a scene like this in one of their films with fish. Like as if they're just dancing together and the children viewers will think they're dancing together but in reality they're having sex on screen. That would be such a good idea and it isn't even inappropriate if you think about it..
My friend and I were just so curious about the fish mating process and your video really helped us out and satisfied our eager questions and concerns. We had no idea this is how they went about it. just swimming parallel to one another, No THRUST?? insanity. Would love to follow up and learn more about you and your fish, I'm definitely subscribing. Any social media accounts I can find you on??
Wait, I'm so confused....I never once wondered how fish reproduced....now I'm so confused I have to know.....they dont actually even touch each other to reproduce?
Awww was always wondering how they make babies. Also, loved how they chased the other fish away before they mate. Thanks for sharing this vid. #enlightened
Stages of fish reproduction. Stage 1 of reproduction: dig a hole Stage 2 of reproduction: lay eggs Stage 3 of reproduction: male fertalizes the eggs Stage 4 of reproduction: burry the fertalized eggs to protect them from predators.
Hey Adam. Do fish do a very similar 'ritual' or make those movements, in regards to territory or asserting dominance? I'll occasionally notice the same thing with a few of my peacocks. I'm 95% sure they are males lol
What scares me is there are people commenting here that have nothing to do with fish and aquariums, yet this video popped up in their feed. Can't imagine what the original search was for......
the female lays eggs down in the sand and then the male swims over them to fertilize then she picks them up in her mouth where she will hold them for a few weeks
Me: watching this video at 5:37am * the fish start dancing* *Me hard core vibeing* *The fish throwing it back* Also Me wondering why they still got better dance moves than me?
the female sets the eggs onto the sand. the Male swims over them and fertilizes them. then the female picks them back up and hold them in her mouth for 3 weeks until the baby fish are big enough to swim
I'm oddly excited to finally know how fish have fry. I'm now prepared for when my sibblings ask how babies are made XD Thank you for the informative video.
What beautiful things GOD created, it’s so amazing. Jesus loves you, accept him into your heart and follow him and Him only, he’s the way to eternal life🙏🏿
+Just Betta thanks for watching. from fertilization to swimming baby fish is usually a little over 20 days. in all honesty cichlids are pretty easy to breed. if you give them a big enough sized tank, do proper water changes and feed a good diet you probably wouldn't be able to stop them from breeding
+Just Betta depends on what type of cichlids. mbuna need a veggot diet so veggie pellets are good. haps and peacocks eat more meat so a standard cichlid formula pellet like northfin cichlid formula or NLS would be good. it's easy to research good foods for certain types of cichlids online. good starter cichlids are yellow labs or acei if you like the look of those. they eat more veggie foods and are very colorful

Wait, I'm so confused....I never once wondered how fish reproduced....now I'm so confused I have to know.....they dont actually even touch each other to reproduce?
Same doubt
External fertilization
That’s what Iam thinking Iam so confused they didint even touch each other? 😂
/Fishes making love/
1.1M people: *IntErEstIng*
human: u can’t get pregnant from dancing ? 💃

Ahhh
male fish: lemme smash
Female fish: ok
All I see is two fish cleaning their bed cause it's messy

Does fry means baby fishes or to be foods??
Baby fish

Thank you! This was a great help with my biology project for school ❤
Wow very cool!. Thanks for sharing
No problem. I hope all your fish are doing well
I just watched a ritual that consists of two fishes having a seizure while going in circles.
Essentially yes
The aquatic mating process never made sense to me it's very strange thanks for this I learned things lol
Haha, thanks for watching
That blue fish is really pretty
+zoeee thank you for watching
So are you
what kind is it jw
It is a champsochromis caeruleus also known as a malawi trout
So this is how 69 came to be
+Logic Toxic exactly
For real though 😂
Even my fishes do this so this means im gonna be a father lol😂😂
Lol
When my parents see my history they're gonna be confused af
Haha
Well mine are because I searched "how to convince your parents on a seahorse"
And I got this
if fish were humans then the "ring around the rosey" dance would've done some bad things to children
Me: *has a paper due in 12 hours that’s not even halfway done*
Also me: let me watch this 5 minute video of fish mating
Time well spent Rosie
Right on dude. Glad they started breeding again. Fry coming your way!
inventoryking fingers crossed
The first time I read this comment I thought it said bleeding.Thank god I read it again. 😂
haha
inventoryking l
"It's been 10 mins now and they are still going"
Some people here would never understand
They can reproduce without touching each other......
essentially yes. the female sets eggs on the sand. the male then swims over them and fertilizes them. then the female picks them up
Adam C kpop fans are everywhere **including me**
@@adamc7918 this process is same for all fishes??
what about mermaid? lol
Me: *just researching how I should draw a mermaid*
TH-cam: so you like that? Do you want more of that content?
I wonder what the other fish are thinking😂😂
Lol
If nature is any indication, it's probably something like, "As soon as they're gone I'm going to swoop in and eat those eggs."
Stages of fish reproduction.
Stage 1 of reproduction: dig a hole
Stage 2 of reproduction: lay eggs
Stage 3 of reproduction: male fertalizes the eggs
Stage 4 of reproduction: burry the fertalized eggs to protect them from predators.
Almost correct
Oh
I just watched 2 fish swim around in circles in silence for 4 minutes
Imagine making babies by running in circles
Way too tiring
Hey Adam. Do fish do a very similar 'ritual' or make those movements, in regards to territory or asserting dominance?
I'll occasionally notice the same thing with a few of my peacocks.
I'm 95% sure they are males lol
Yes, very similar ritual, and it's not uncommon for 2 males to do it especially in all male tanks
Fish: I'm swimming, I'm swimming around
Fish living in 2050 doing it wirelessly
Indeed
Thanks! I hope you’ll make a video of the baby fish as they grow in the tank. Good luck!
thanks for watching Rodney
Idk how I ended up watching this
Worth it though right
What scares me is there are people commenting here that have nothing to do with fish and aquariums, yet this video popped up in their feed. Can't imagine what the original search was for......
Great point
Why do they actually look cute dancing around and kicking up sand like they're doing a little dance lmao
The question Anya is why wouldn't they look cute?
There Is Something Fishy Going On Here 👀
I see what you did there
But they were jst moving around each other...
the female lays eggs down in the sand and then the male swims over them to fertilize then she picks them up in her mouth where she will hold them for a few weeks
Adam C ohhhh
Aishwarya Deshmukh u r rite
They had to blow water as the friction to prepare each other for the act.
@@adamc7918 ohhhh
4:34
Blue one: Leaves
Me: Ah, that must be the father
While watching this i was pretending they were saying inaudible ritual chants 🤣
Could be
Me: watching this video at 5:37am
* the fish start dancing*
*Me hard core vibeing*
*The fish throwing it back*
Also Me wondering why they still got better dance moves than me?
Yes, good dialogue
I dont you put background music on this vid 😂😂

Pregnancy: Smack ✍️ Sand ✍️📝
Just don't use a black light in my room now
My cichlids reproduce regularly. It's so interesting! ❤
I agree, thanks for watching
My first thought when they started was 'ritual, yep. it's a ritual.'
It's no more a ritual than orally lubing before insertion. Theyre whiffing phermones, initiate fertility.
Male fish be like : Gah daym she kinda bad tho
1.3 million people was wondering the same thing 😱..... Happy to see I’m not alone 🥴
Thanks for watching
That male is so beautiful!

Bros patients is insane dude I have ADHD right I would have left to do anything else no bro stayed and that is what I respect
Lol
All I seen was two fish circling each other...
How does this actually work? Can anyone explain, please? He's dropping something in the sand, which she then picks up??
the female sets the eggs onto the sand. the Male swims over them and fertilizes them. then the female picks them back up and hold them in her mouth for 3 weeks until the baby fish are big enough to swim
So that’s what my fish been doing
lately lol it’s quite intriguing lmao.
Hopefully babies in your future
BASICALLY the girl lays the eggs, and the guy activates them. They both shoot it out through a slit in their bodies.
Essentially yes
yo give these fish some privacy man
Here trying to figure out how the hell did I get here😂😂😂😂😂
haha wrong turn I guess
Nice video, thought the next video was the cichlids from the unboxing video in a tank so we could see them much better.
Roblox 5orange they are still in quarantine

Are they depositing eggs into the gravel?
