ID MY AWESOME CATCH!!!!

[Lepisosteus platyrhincus]

they are doing ok but not sure if they are eating. the water proved too cold for the shrimp and they all died. not sure how to feed them.....
geuss ill try to get live black worms from petsmart
they do have some small insects i caught in the water with them. i havent seen any in awhile so they may be eating them or they may be in the substrate

It is definately a sculpin where did you catch him I'm from Pennsylvania and have kept mottled sculpin and darters in the past. I know that the sculpins were more finicky about eating and I would try collecting some algae covered rocks with caddis flys and stone fly larvae all over them. They will eat that when they are small. Maybe even brine shrimp would be a good choice. However, after a few weeks they should figure out flake food. Good luck they really are a beautiful fish!

it died. i set up a larger new tank with some very small crays and more sculpin. much larger this time. 4 in and 2 at 3". they are doin much better!

I'm late for the party again, but I'd say to dump in a bunch of Mosquito larvae, Daphnia, Fairy Shrimp, (non-endangered kind lol) etc
