Got it. Thanks!
Camera will be deployed all day. Male should start "spinning up" this morning once sun hits tank.
We have a lot of sunfish farmer terms that I will be using. Staging breeding cycles for us critical so we settled on terms to stream line communications. The day of the males introduction involved a spate of "ventral present" and "dorsal present". Be watching for "dark eyes" )(not in literature in any form), "look down", "rock biting", "turning", "vent rubbing", "egg deposition", and "fanning". The behaviors all occur on ponds and in the wild for all species I have observed so these are common components of sunfish breeding efforts. When I say sunfish is includes the black basses, crappies, rock basses, and Fliers. May try to repeat this with Fliers nest spring before conditions suitable for Bluegill.
Just to entertain, as kids Fliers we called Black Crappie and all crappie we called White Crappie. Spotted Bass we called Redeye Bass . Bumpkin Indiana kids were not well schooled in fish taxonomy.
I do remember stealing bass eggs to attempt rearing in the cattle trough.
