I was struck by the difference in my spotfin shiners. The first picture was taken in October, the second today. The tank is in my living room, so the temperature doesn't vary much. I did install a new, more powerful power head recently. They are great aquarium fish - active, attractive, and easy to feed.
I had 1 male / 2 females, and even with the 2 females taking turns, the male kinda beat up on them pretty good.
I love these guys and they do well in a variety of setups. Like you, I hope to get a few more when it warms up! Cheers

hi schambers,
is that a OS Sunfish in the background?
your shiners look well fed.this is one type (Notropis spilopterus)I am looking close at.
lord willing it will be the fish to stop the import of golden shiner
to this state.we all know the damage this little fish has on lakes
and streams. have you had any fruit from your labor to breed this fish?
my small time setup is going slow in the garage.they need more stream current
and help from others let alone me.

thats allot of eggs.Hey Catifsh, I collected 424,230 eggs yesterday. I have been working with these fish for two years now with my research for OSU. I am working on being able to commercially produce SFS and find them a very interesting species.
