I noticed one of my chromis spinning in circles on one spot in my tank. After a bit I realized the female was laying eggs. I feel so bad for them, the male been chasing the other fish away all day long, he's going to be so tired.

This is the male preparing the spot

Very cool. I'm surprised they are laying eggs without a male. My yellow tail damsels used to spawn constantly, but once the male died, the two females never laid eggs again.
