Looks like these guys prefer some gravel, rock or sand to spawn in and they spawn at the same time the BG are on the beds. Does a separate spawning area need to be created for them or co-mingling with the BG is acceptable?

Most of the searches I've come up with on the internet are more aquarium based with pots and pvc tubes. This doesn't seem to be really needed for outdoor pond applications.

We do have a couple of areas in the pond in the 1-3' water ranges I could adapt if needed....figured I would check to see if they were more independent like LMB or more communal like BG on their spawning needs.
