Live Birth of Shiner Perch

http://amphibiographer.tv/ Watch this 3 min. video to see Shiner Perch fish babies pop out, perfect little miniature copies of their parents. The babies usually exit tail first, sometimes you can see 2 tails easing out, but one comes out head first. Can you spot it? The babies join swarms of other newborns. Actually they don't remain babies for long, they are even capable of mating shorty after being born!! Precocious fish. Not only do Shiners give live birth they engage in internal fertilization! You can see a black coloured male try to mate with Mom at 2:30, just after giving birth. The male does a quick angling of his body toward Mom bringing his genitals in contact with her vent, but she's having none of it, quickly dashing away. These clips are the result of 4 years of watching during birthing season, and weeks of snorkeling this year, with 5 days of videoing for hours at a time! Murky water, waves, mixing of salt and fresh water causing blurring, tidal currents, thunderstorms etc. made it very difficult to get any decent footage. The glamour of underwater photography :} These clips are of wild fish in their natural habitat, no video of captive fish in aquariums!!!
