I’ve watched my Nothobranchius rachovii quite closely over the past two weeks. A water change seems to make them start performing what I think is a mating dance.
Quite a few fish keepers tend to avoid keeping the rachovii in a community tank as their tank mates may stress them too much, however I’ve had no issues with mine settling in and fighting for food at feeding time.
I’m not attempting to breed them, and have made no special effort for them but they seem happy. I’m not certain if the female is actually laying any eggs, since most of my fish would eat them before I’d notice.
I’ve captured this on video, take a look.
