<<. I recently dived Ewens
ponds where I observed Nannopercas breeding in the wild, Galaxiads schooling
in the hundreds and Marron walking blindly through the volcanic ash. The
vegetation was so profuse it was as if though someone had stained the water
with green food dye. If it wasnt for the very cold water burning my ears I
might have thought Id died and gone to heaven.>>
Don't just make us green with envy Andrew, tell us more and we will go "black" :-)
Tell us what the Nannoperca were doing - did they spawn in pairs or groups ? Did they select sites or randomly scatter eggs? What sort of courtshpi display was evident? I hope you were really "fishwatching" and not just being a "tourist" :-)
What sort of vegetation was it? I can think of hundreds of questions to put to you. I hope you took copious notes when your burning ears chased you out. Otherwise you will get more "burning ears" from me asking you questions.:-)
