snrub,
Wish I would see mine do the deed but no dice so far. Although it is pretty cool to see the males flare up their gills and "go for the throat" when another male approaches. I count about 30 nests around the pond.
ewest,
Thanks for the info, didn't think it was possible so I am pleasantly surprised.
As I walked the pond at high sun today there are fry everywhere along the banks. Due to the shear abundance I would venture to guess some are FHM which is even better as I have not seen them for months. It appeared there were 2 distinct shapes of fry, could be my eyes though. Would one be able to notice a FHM fry vs a RES fry?
