Interesting stuff Jim. I wondered if any pond fish "flashed". See it regularly with certain species of ocean fish, I assume to rid themselves of parasites. Watched a permit eating sand and flushing through the gills yesterday for 10 minutes, I assume to rid gill parasites.

I have threatened to take my wifes camera into the pond to try and capture some pond fish behavior (get her in there? Yeah, right). I did do some Gopro videos of BG and RES males guarding nests a couple years ago. But there is something about climing into water with 2' visability that is not enticing. My ponds only get clear enough to get decent pictures a couple times a year, and the water is usually cold at those times.......brrrrrrr.
