I took some photos at Mr. H's small pond today. The 700 FH I added last October have greatly increased in number. They are the only fish in the pond at this point. We had 3 inches of rain 2 nights ago and the surface temp was up to 67 today with air temp of about 70.
In this video (I'm leaning over the dock) you can see two (female?) FH swimming with their dorsal fins against the vertical piling. There has been at least one FH there for the last few days.
I assume these are spawning colors.
Here are the fry as of Feb 19. For reference the piling is a 4 X 4, and the pellet is a Grower 400 which is 3/32 inches diameter.
(Can you find Waldo?)
