!!!Colored-Up Stream Fish Alert!!!

For the last few weeks, our aquarists have slowly adjusted water flow, length of day and temperature in our large stream exhibit to encourage spring breeding behavior. It's definitely working, as you can see from the brilliant mating colors of the Tennessee Shiners, Saffron Shiners and Tennessee Dace preparing to spawn over a recently constructed nest made by a River Chub!
