The fish can tell it's close to spring time here in South Texas... my larger females are noticably plump with eggs.
I know I don't need any new fish, but I sure hope I can catch some eggs and save some eggs this year - Previously, when I've watched them spawn, the males follow the females, doing the fertilizing bit, and then the mass of other fish follow in their wake, eating the eggs as soon as they're laid. My spawning mat had never trapped a one.
It would be fun to have some hatch, though, and to raise them to adulthood. Wonder what colors and patterns my fishies would produce...
