Mine were warming up to the notion last week as we've had daytime temperatures in the 90's already, but then a cold snap hit and they all got lazy again. The water temps are slowly beginning to rise again and I expext new activity to start again next week if the weather stabilizes. As with last year it looks like the Sanke will likely go first (she's ready to explode with eggs) probably followed by the Ki Utsuri a few weeks later.It seems that ours begin with the males jostling each other for "alpha" status before the females begin flashing about. Has anyone else noticed the males acting that way ahead of the spawn?
