What's this? I don't think we have these in Maryland. It's a beauty.
Lucky for you they are not prohibited in MD, different story here.

I don't think they maintain their colors very well in an aquarium. I had a school of Redfin Shiners (very similar) and they lost most of their color within a week.

I've found red shiner color can be adjusted pretty easily. If your tank cools down for a while their color will fade. Once you bring the temps up they seem to color up quickly. If you don't change the tank temp at all they'll color up in the spring in any case.

This is actually hard to answer since I have fish in the basement that receive no natural light spawn at the appropriate time. In the case of red shiners, they receive some natural light. I would guess this alone triggers the color in the spring since temps stay pretty constant.What do you think their cue to color up in the spring in a static environment?
At what size do they begin to get their colors?

What species do you have spawning in the basement?
