That was the reason we put rosy reds in Rod. The water was stained and the reds are much easier to see (at least with my eyes). Not sure if the predators can see any difference.

There were lots of variations in the colors of the punkingils but that one caught me eye for sure.

One other thing I didn't mention above TinyLake. I'd guess your geographic location may play into spawning some too. Those links I posted may not be accurate for your area. Just more food for thought...
