Thanks for posting this, and your pics are outstanding. I have two males and two females which look very similar to yours. Mine are around 8-9 inches. My males are very aggressive toward one another, particularly at feeding time. The smaller male and smaller female often pair up and pick on the other two. I suspect that it may be the beginnings of 'pairing off 'as you mentioned Jonny. I'll post some pics this week. Would be good for us both if someone can help with your question.

Do small 20% water changes for a few days in a row and then on the 4th day do a big water change adding slightly cooler water to the tank. This triggers my bass to spawn every time. Once the eggs are laid, they will hatch in roughly 60 hours and then the wigglers will become free swimming 2 days or so after that. If you want to raise the babies make sure you have A LOT of newly hatched baby brine shrimp on hand and feed them often. Good luck.
