“Nice Catch”
The Story:
During the summer season, we can observe Cardinalfish spawning, with males taking eggs into their mouths. However, since it’s impossible to predict when spawning will occur, we must locate a pair and wait patiently for the moment they spawn. This process can sometimes take over an hour.
