Awesome video! I have lots of darters myself, Mainly rainbow and Jonny darters. I’ve also got some videos on my channel with them would appreciate it if you checked them out.
Most species male fish will display dominance by spreading their fins and coloring up. Its just a way for intimidation. The orangthroat darters don’t change colors very often and even when the males get a little fisty it’s usually just their head that gets a little more orange.

Why do they get more colorful when they fight?
