Hi gang,
My rainbow shiners are really showing the magenta flecks, the females
look gravid and all of them are rooooosy. I can see a little lateral purple
on the dominant males. How much pre-spawn flash have they done for you folks
who've spawned them? Is this an indication of a spawn, or are they just
feeling sassy and large? It's not like they got cold or anything (just down to
62 the last three weeks), so I'm not even sure the eggs will work if they do.
I'm looking forward to the color and photographs, but not so much the
swan song they apparently sing a week later. Fort Payne is a loooooooong
way from here.
