My mandarins just did this...

I've had to move my pair of mandarins into a small 20g tank for a few weeks while my old tank is sold and the new one arrives. It's nice having them in a smaller tank than my 120g as you really get to see them up close. So I was just sitting watching them when I saw them start to dance around each other and managed to get my phone out in time to catch this:

That would be cool if you could somehow raise fry. I heard ORA managed to bred mandarins in capivity.

I can't wait for my clown pair to have lil guppies haha

Thats awesome. Fish mating are a sign of a healthy tank and that they're thriving. Congrats!

Thanks everyone! I've set up a small tank and ordered Rotifers and zooplankton so next time they spawn I might collect some eggs and try to raise them up. I've read everything I can find on raising them, mostly the stuff by Matthew Wittenrich so I'd like to give it a try!
