here is another example of what they are talking about but with a different fish, these guys build big sand castles and the get the females to lay thier eggs in the castle, as the female is trying to pick up the eggs the male drags his rather long fins on the ground and at the tips of his fin's look like eggs and he tricks the female into putting it into her mouth then fertalizes the eggs with his spem... kinds cool
