The film shows the spawning behaviour of a pair of Tilapia multifasciata kept in isolation. The eggs are laid in a shallow spawning hollow by the female and then fertilized by the male. Sometimes it happens that the parents take the eggs in their mouths before all aggs are laid; however, in most observed cases they do so only after all eggs have been laid - this is also the case with the couple filmed.
