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..
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?
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??
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
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
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......
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
Ok I've read some of the questions and your answers. So when she puts them in her mouth, how long and is there another process to go through? I never noticed her taking anything into her mouth during the video. Did she do it later?
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
The female sets the eggs in the sand. The male swims over and fertilizes. The female then picks the eggs back up in her mouth where she holds them for 3 weeks as they grow
The reproduction occurs outside of their body. Female will likely to lay eggs and male will release sperm (cloudy substance) into the water near the location the female lay her eggs. Edit: spelling mistake, excuse my typo :(
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?
+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
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.
+libin gaming hi libin. the female lays eggs down on the sand. then the male swims over them to fertilize them, then the female picks up the eggs and holds them in her mouth

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
The aquatic mating process never made sense to me it's very strange thanks for this I learned things lol
Haha, thanks for watching
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
Even my fishes do this so this means im gonna be a father lol😂😂
Lol
Tried this irl, somehow it isn’t working 😔. I need instructions
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
What were the chances of their eggs surviving?
90 percent in my aquariums roughly
if fish were humans then the "ring around the rosey" dance would've done some bad things to children
Fish living in 2050 doing it wirelessly
Indeed
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."
had no idea about this
crazier is how you are still liking most people's comments after 7 years and 1700 comments
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

They had to blow water as the friction to prepare each other for the act.

Time well spent Rosie
it’s so weird how they don’t touch eachother and make babies like that
Thanks for watching
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
You were just on pewdiepies video 😯
Lol, thanks for letting me know
@@adamc7918 I bet you thought I was trolling ;)
Haha I did
Thanks! I hope you’ll make a video of the baby fish as they grow in the tank. Good luck!
thanks for watching Rodney
Fish: I'm swimming, I'm swimming around
Imagine making babies by running in circles
Way too tiring
Ok I've read some of the questions and your answers. So when she puts them in her mouth, how long and is there another process to go through? I never noticed her taking anything into her mouth during the video. Did she do it later?
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
I'm sorry I didn't understand. Can you please explain what are they doing?

Me: *just researching how I should draw a mermaid*
TH-cam: so you like that? Do you want more of that content?
Idk about y’all but I still don’t get it. How does this impregnate the fish??
The reproduction occurs outside of their body. Female will likely to lay eggs and male will release sperm (cloudy substance) into the water near the location the female lay her eggs.
Edit: spelling mistake, excuse my typo :(
wouldn't they be tasty after being fried???

soo will u breed with him?
The male one is the blue fish?
yes Hanna the females remain silver
It's a ladies fish 😂 a player
Ok, So this is how Mermaids reproduce too I guess.
How do you differentiate between male and female fish?
it's easy, the male is always colorful, the females stay silver
Oh.. Is that the case in every species of fish?
no not every species
Hmm.. Okay.. Thx for answering.. 👍
Did guppys also breeding like that
Guppies are different
There Is Something Fishy Going On Here 👀
I see what you did there
Noo one, literally noo one.
But me at 1 a.m, "Fishes having Sex."
😂😂😂
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.
how about the fry? How many did they produce?
from this video they produced around 60
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
Do you think this would be how mermaids / sirens reproduce?
Yes

Are they depositing eggs into the gravel?

Hey i watched a video of your chiclid eggs hatching till they're free swimming how long would it take? And how do i breed chiclids??
+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

so do they pee in the water and before the pee goes to other areas the other fish drink it
