I have been spawning, well actually the white-tail shiners have been
spawning in the 300 gallon tank in my living room using a egg catcher made
out of flowerpots. I stacked four flower pots with some airline tubing
between each pot to create a nice crevasse for a spawning site. Have
collected hundreds of eggs after a weeks time and yes the log perch are
awfully interested. The egg trap is just laying on it's side and the
fiery-blacks,white-tails and red shiners are all using it. Have some very
small fry coming up but am not sure what they are yet. If anyone would like
a picture of the love-nest I can email you one.
