Anyone had any success keeping these? I have about 15 of them in a 90 gallon. Caught them with a small tank net and now they are about 3 inches. Anyone else have any experience with these? Thanks

Will do... people up here refer to them as squawfish.... the number one predator of salmon and trout in the northwest.

Some of them due depending on the species.... dunno about these but i think they might be the max 10 in. ones.... i'll have pictures up tomorrow... i have them feeding on flakes and tubiflex worms
I know very little about western fish, but those fish look very different than any photo of a pikeminnow that I can find.

I agree with Skipjack here. The Ptychocheilus has a terminal mouth and these definitely have underslung mouths. They appear to be of of the numerous Catostomid species.
could they be some sort of chub? really interested in these guys since i've had them for awhile, any information would be greatly appreciated... ill try to get better pictures
