well yellow labs arent substrate spawners so they arent building a nest. they build holes for terrirtories. the shaking might just be a sign of dominance from one male to another. have any pics? hwo big are they?

i cant get any good pics of them i just cant figure out my camera. the smaller one had very dark markings on the top and bottom fins. the bigger one has very little dark on the top and bottom and the color comes and go. the bigger one does not shake at all. the smaller one is younger then the bigger one. they dont seem to fight at all

do they both have blck stripes on the fins? to me it seem more territorial than anything, one is establishing himself as the dominant male which means shaking and digging holes.

the larger one should be a female and she was chasing the smaller one around which is a male. is she dropping her eggs for the male to fertalize them or what

the lager one has very little black on it and it comes and goes and the smaller one has alot of black on it and it stays there all the time. would it be that the female is chasing the male to gertlize the eggs
