April is here and love is in the water for the fish population at my local brook! i put away the fisheye lens and cracked out the 60mm macro for a change to document something a little different Minnows!
The Common minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus) is a tiny fish that lives in clean, clear streams in large shoals and the males have vivid colours across there bodies which is what i wanted to get.

A rush of testerone in the males causes the bumps on its head called tubercles
They may be ready to breed but not stupid they hide near stones to avoid predators
