Looking for...

Any member of the sunfish family, right now only the smaller species due to space.
Something for my outdoor 40g planted tub (pygmy sunfish, killifish ect)...summer's ticking by and I still haven't found a species for it. Mosquitos and daphnia sure like it though :)
 
post a pic of the madtom that you don't know the species of! i am sure that guppy or someone will come along and figure out which species it is!
 
You guys need to get your bowfins. I feel like a loner here. I am gunna take some pictures of him tonight I think if I can find my camera if anybody is interested. Would it be possible to start a picture thread in this forum or would it be moved? I need that answer before I post pics.

Haha yea that is why mine will only be in my tank for a year. Then it is going to my pond. I can't wait for one of my friends to come over and stick thier hand in the pond and get chomped on by a giant bowfin.:grinno:

Get me a tank large enough for one and I'll gladly get a bowfin so you won't feel alone.:D

necrocanis, I would post a picture of it but I am not very good at taking decent pictures. I think this fish is beyond the point of ID by photo anyway, I think it's gonna come down to feeling the serrations on the pectoral spines and looking at it's teeth or something. I consider myself pretty good at IDing natives but this one has me.
 
I started a picture thread in the photo lounge. Come and show everybody what we got. Oh yea sandtiger I would love to but I don't even have a tank big enough. Mine is going in a pond.

Sounds like you need to break out a dissecting scopeto get a good view of the spine, its even more fun while they are alive.
