I would like to extend congratulations to our very own "NVCichlids" (Nathaniel Veith) for getting his question about native fish published in the January 2009 issue of Aquarium Fish International magazine. On page 6 of the issue, Nate asks what might be a good cleanup crew for a tank with native killies and Elassoma. Unfortunately, the editor of the column has obviously been mis-informed about our native fish. He says that, "...Our continent hasn't been overly blessed with colorful or interesting species for the aquarium....". He then goes on to suggest only tadpoles or snails as a possible cleanup crew. Perhaps we need to set this guy straight! In any event, congrats to NVCichlids!
What a BS answer from the editor. He'll be getting an email from me. Congrats to NV though on getting the question published.

Yellowfin shiners and bluehead chubsPardon my ignorance, but what are those weird looking fish in the second pic?
I love those pics by the way - thanks for sharing them Michael.

Thanks for posting those pics! I've put the first one as the desktop on my computer . Are the larger fish Common Shiners or Striped Shiners? Also, what are the orange/red minnows?

I am not sure, that first pic came from another NANFAn... I think Farmer Todd, he would would be able to identify the fish more specifically, because he knows the first rule of identification... know where you are stnding, and he knows where he was standing.
Someone else already got the id correct on the other pic... yellowfins and blueheads...

Yeah, scarlets are Lythrurus fasciolaris, separated from L. ardens.I believe the Lythrurus are Scarlet shiners, although I think fasciolarus was recently elevated from a subspecies of rosefin.
