As I type, my Barreds are breeding. I've only had them for a week. 
They have had some really cool breeding colors the past few days so I decided to raise the temp to 82 degrees to see if that would push them off the edge.
I've never seen fish spawn before, I just seem to spot eggs after the fact. The female is almost trance like. She is very black and yellow where she is usually white. Her gills are fluttering and her hump is huge!
My wife has the camera at work today so I can't video log it but I will get pictures when she gets home...
