Well, guess I missed your birthday ... hope it was happy even without mudminnows. Anyway, Jeff Walsh is here for the Raleigh Aquar Soc convention this weekend and says he will see you next week in Atlanta, so I'll give him some extra mudminnows to bring to you.

That would be great. I assume Jeff is making reference to the AAAA meeting. I am speaking at their monthly meeting in native Sunfishes.

Yes they live fine with anything they cant swallow in one gulp.
Not aggressive toward anything non-bite-size. They're about 2" now.

Got em. I put a few (one each) in some different aquariums situations (see who they get along with or thrive with in a community situation) and put a few outside in a pond (hopefully to make more!).
What a great looking fish, and such cool movement, the seem to paddle around with their pecs and a flowing dorsal fin.

Yup - fun to watch in a tank. They can turn their heads a little to watch things, much like darters. Males will develop longer anal fins. I doubt you'll get fry this year, but probably in Mar-Apr next year. Enjoy!

Here's a sibling of yours, just about one year old. This one was indoor-grown. Yours stayed in the wading pool all year.

I have 4 adults that spawned this spring. I had added some aquatic plants in April so there would be a substrate for them to spawn on. I found some small larval fish beginning of May and wasn’t sure if they were some small minnow that was brought by accident with the aquatic plants. I found some pictures during an online search showing the little tail spike and was blown away since my little fish had/have the same thing, so I was able to confirm they had spawned.
I am raising 3 different species of Daphnia outdoors to feed the little ones.
