Camm Swift and I participated in a Georgia River Network event last weekend on the Ochlockonee River.  They invite NANFA to participate these events to give a fish presentation.  We usually talk about the health of the habitat or the mix of fishes that they group is paddling over top of.  Usually we set up an aquarium at the point where the group will have lunch.  But this time there was no access, so we decided to paddle along with them and just show fishes in the photo tanks.

We had a great day on and in the water and saw the following fishes:

Redbreast Sunfish

Bluegill Sunfish

Spotted Sunfish

Weed Shiner

Coastal Shiner

Bannerfin Shiner

Pugnose Minnow (look at how little his mouth is)

Mosquito Fish

Brook Silverside

Blackbanded Darter (we were still in Georgia after all)

Brown Darter

Gulf Darter (a fantastic small slackwater darter... out of color in the fall, but still cool)

Where do you get the photo tanks?

They are my design and construction. I like them as they are very durable for situations just like this. See the link below...

Thanks, i looked everywhere and was beginning to realize how easy it seems to be to put them together.

I need to satisfy my Cyprinella urges as I have none in my tank right now.

I didn't get any. They were all small juveniles. Not really photo worthy.
