I went kayaking today and collected some fish. I never came across a group of fish with such crappy genetics. The one in the video was the worst one but lots of them had deformed spines. The weird thing is that the fish are pretty old. I am not sure how they survived this long. I set up a little tank for this guy. He reminds me of a camel.

 
I'm surprised that they're still alive after the capture. Silversides almost always croaked before we could put them in the pails.
 
Silversides are pretty sensitive. I live 2 mins from the ocean so I just bag them up and go home. They spend less then 10 mins in the bag. When I get home a bunch of them look like crap. Gasping for air and lying on the bottom. They are the first ones to get eaten. The ones that get into my tank in good health do pretty well.
