For some reason all of my fish went back into reproductive mode a couple of weeks ago. I can see the males guarding nests, and the females are all popping with eggs again. The top fish was nest-guarding and I tossed a little wet fly his way. I think the reason the eartab isn't more pronounced is the fact that this fish is only age-1. The bottom fish is obviously gravid. My personal experience with my fish is that the males are almost always dusky on the breast, and the females are almost always pale yellow.
