World Record Flagfin Shiner!!
Hi I'm Sleepy Lelouch, born and raised in Louisiana between NOLA and Red Stick. I often go to the Tangipahoa River, I've found this guy's land that's there, so I jump the fence and go collecting there. Not really, it's my friend's land... I think.
I have 5 tanks, 2 are 29g's, one with a yellow bullhead as it's sole inhabitant, the other with 4 Corydoras Plaeteus (temporarily), 2 largemouth bass, 1 bullhead (so tiny I haven't been able to ID him yet) and the occasional feeder minnow that manages to escape the mouthes of the two 3/4" long bass.
One 10 gallon tank in which I have banded pygmy sunfish, pirate perch, mosquitofish, and loads of pond snails. One 2.5g with Least Killifish that spawned about 3 months ago, fry are still doing good. I actually only keep about 1g of water in the aquarium in order to grow some emersed plants in it as well. And last but not least is my 0.01g tank. I'm serious. It was made from a candle-holder and can technically be called a native tank since the only living thing in it is some Fissidens-type moss found in the Tangipahoa river on a submerged stump.
I've been into native tanks for a while, but I've just recently found NANFA due to a member that asked to keep his identity anonymous.

Yeah, they're nice fish for tropical tanks. But horribly invasive. Unfortunately, mine are still jittery from being at the pet shop their entire lives until about 2 months ago, having to deal with the net coming down and sucking up their comrades every day. But they're gradually getting better.
