A couple of mandarin fishes mating - Bali Indonesia

A couple of mandarin fishes ( Synchiropus splendidus ) mating in Permuteran Bay, Bali Indonesia on May 2023. The mandarinfish is most famous for its distinctive mating ritual. Under the dimmed light of sunset hours, mandarinfish couples perform an extraordinary courtship dance. Females gather at the reef, judging if a male is worthy. A male who has successfully courted a lady attaches to her at the pelvic fin. Then the pair swim up from the reef towards the water’s surface, releasing a cloud of sperm and eggs (around 200 eggs).
