Peacock Bass breeding in Pond/Lake.

[JuanTamad]

First spotted the following Last Sunday 6/11/2006:

The lake waters must still be below 80. It took 3 days for the eggs to hatch. But they have, and the eggs are now wigglers. The Mama PB has dug the first hole to deposit the fries. This after Papa PB was caught and released yesterday

A day later the PB has been busy digging more holes. Earlier this morning, there is still the only one hole from yesterday. 2 pm today four total holes are visible but only one has a dark spot inside.

Here's pic of the Spawn that was spotted last Sunday. They should be free swimming in the next couple of days

They are still wiggling and Mama Pbass has made more holes. I counted 9 holes. Have not seen the Papa Pbass for 3 days now. Might have been caught by another Fisherman

The wigglers should be free swimming tomorrow, I think.

Great pictures of the pbass on their nests. It was interesting seeing all the holes they create to hide their fry.

I want to go fishing.
I am trying to find the best way to get the fish back to Detroit.

Today I was greeted by my newly free swimming adopted PB babies.

Took about half the wigglers last Thursday. Today, the half in the lake are still wiggling.

Will try to catch a pic of the free swimming fries in the lake tomorrow.

The new kids in the house, actually the patio for now look like these:

They are gone...The Summer PB fries are on the move...

I came by their nest too late...

This was all I saw earlier today around 2 PM
