This thread was a great way to view politics in a way. A noble discussion turned to fighting over who's opinion is better... *Edit, and it really doesn't matter all that much when you get down to it.
No color? Thats the best part of u.s. natives lol...

especially with bait & invasive species regulations. Bait dumps is a concern for us and many native transports are highly invasives such as red shiners and redbelly daces. If the natives are sold at pet store like goldfish, we would have destroyed most waterways by then.
You do know rosy-red feeder minnows are just a color variant of the fat head minnow, and are pretty much in EVERY lfs and chain store.
these are color mutations, but I think you can find lot of color mutations in tropicals.
and they are not native to many waterways. Thank god, bright orange fishes usually won't last longer in the wild.
