Awesome! I am picking some up in the next few days and I can't wait.
I saw rainbow shiners and warpaints, did I see mountain redbellies in the background too?
If so that is the exact same four species of minnow I will have once I pick up the welaka. Nice choices.

Yup, you got them all, unless a rough shiner sneaked in there

They seem to be very happy in their new home. Can you share some info on your setup and water parameters?
Well Martin, it is only a 55, with a drip systen changing out around 7 gallons per day. Water is around 8.3. Ammonia 0
nitrite 0 nitrate less than 10. Feed earthworm flakes, frozen bloodworms,and live whiteworms. Filtration fluvall 404, and overhead drip through homemade 5 gallon bucket filter with 350 gph pump. Needless to say this tank is hard to overstock. Gravel substrate(home depot) creek rocks. Lots of lousy brown algae. Has about 50-60 fish in it. Overstocked yes, maybe, but water tests say no.

Temperature? Where I have found them the are in cool (not cold) water. pH is about right, VERY low TDS. That's what I've measured in the wild, anyway.
