Woops looks like I double posted one of the banded pygmy shots and forgot to place the second banded sunfish shot, and it is not letting me edit this now... Maybe one of the global moderators could fix this real quick?
very nice, i was amazed how Cichlid looking the young of the year are.
i need some of those blackbanded and pygmy sunfish.

Fixed. You've got a heck of a collection, Brian! Have you ever tried mud sunnies?

The Sacramento Perch were sent to me in trade for some blackbanded sunfish from the individual who lives in California. He was actually who acquired them from the hatchery in California. So no I do not have a link to the hatchery or even know what it is called.
