Heres a glimpse of the male Kentucky Arrow Darter...
Kentucky River sub spp spilotum ( A bit different than the Cumberland E. sagitta i have observed )
This is one of my favorite and most interesting fish. Etnier's book tells of their display and sparring during breeding season and i inquired of JR of this, he responded...
We had 4 ( 2 male, 2 female ) arrow darters over winter. They pretty well left each other alone. As the day length increased and they began to come into condition, the males started beating the crap out of each other. We removed one male then the last male started beating the crap out of the females! We took him out too. It seems the "hot" males are totally intolerant of anyone else unless they're receptive to spawn. Soon as we put a very gravid female in there and added a male back to the mix...he started behaving like a puppy in love! Just followed that female around all starry-eyed until they spawned the next day. After a day or so of spawning, he started running her around again. I guess the only way they tolerate each other is when they're spawning.
I'm going to have to see this one day! If you have The Fishes of Tennessee read pages 522 -524. "The males defend these sites vigorously." Its gotta be quite a show. An amazing tough fish.
