Well well the common shiners pictured above that have that nice green colour to them have managed to spawn. We have been able to net them but will post pictures of the ones we trapped. The above minnow have spawned some how in our pond. I don't know how they lay their eggs but off the end of the water fall there was a huge mat of alga that was hair like and waving with the water flow.

Pictures to follow. These minnows are just about clear still at 1" where the fatheads are bronze/black at 1". If they are not common shiner I do not know what their are.

Cheers Don.
