See following images. I have yet to figure out how this site handles image files. The fish below were tank spawned and reared prior to holding in culture pond for about 60 days. Both sexes have the black splotches although males have larger. Some males have very large black spots. I have been working with them for quite a while using them in part to develop to develop a domesticated bluegill strain that also has coppernose and northern bluegills in it. Breeding and raising all in parallel where you can see what is going on. I have only three pure fingerlings left and want more to do a feeding experiment.
