Occasionally when we are out in the field, we are fortunate enough to run across unusual or unexpected animals, or even better if you're far enough out there and get really lucky, you can witness unusually large groups of animals displaying natural behaviors and paying you no heed. In this case, a large shoal or "school" of nuptial mountain redbelly dace - with some rosyside dace, crescent shiners, and even a crayfish in there - have gathered on a chub nest to mate and are on full display. The beauty of these fish is hard to rival and create a living mosaic of red, gold, yellow, olive, black, white and silver.
