The present film records the courtship behaviour of the mouth breeder in the female sex Tilapia variabilis, and was shot in an aquarium in which the fishes had already been acclimatized. The male of this species stakes out his domain, in the centre of which a hollow is formed. Here he digs almost continuously. If a female, ready to spawn, approaches, the male tries to entice her to the hollow.
