One of the females had died and the male was still going at her when I found them.
The males split up and went about their work.
There have been three other spawnings since - I think the male is going to be busy for some time yet!
During the spawning season, the males go through a color change phase.
Many males do not go far and remain in the lower reaches.
The next morning every male in the village went to the metal object.
As males went, he was a rock of stability and self-control.
So, the individual males were going three times an hour for thirty-six hours.
What do you think white males are going to do about that?
So why would males go to all the trouble of displaying something that potential mates wouldn't like?
