Check this out. A cool video on preserving fish and the fish happened to be a Minckleyi. I tried embedding but couldn't do it.

a friend in town has a male that's killed a few females, that's trying to get a breeding pair of these. that's pretty sad that it was marked "died in the lab"
wtf was the purpose of that vid, to kill a fish and preserve it to identify it?

I preserve mine in the freezer, I'm going to throw them in my garden when it get's warmer LOL. Clove oil is not a natural death either.
Great post wildcaught, lots of good info for the noobs.

You know, I was trying to figure out if the fish was dead already too. I couldn't tell if the mouth/gill movement was caused by the guy touching the fish in the right areas. Aside from that the clove oil explanation was pretty cool. If you watch the first video in the series they collect natives and run into a texas cichlid, "Rio Grande Perch".
The fish in the vid was definitely a good sized Minckleyi.

Haha, my garden preserves mine. I think Racoons and Cats drag them off.
