They have been quarantined. I had a 40 gallon long that I was using as
a growout tank. It has been setup for months and so I knew it had
already gone through the cycle. Most of the redfin shiners died on the
way home. some of the fish are eating now and sem to be swimming
around more. I have decided to wait and in a couple of weeks go back
and see what I find. I hate killing fish even if I know that they will
die where they are at. Besides I now know where to go to get the fish
within a few minutes of my house, so i will wait till this fall when
it is cooler and then see what I find. I might go and get a few more
F. notatus, but the rest can wait till sept/oct.

This year has been the same experience for me when brining back rosefin shiners from pools with water in the 70s. Nothing lasts over two days and it spreads to other fish.
