Well, I have a confession to make. Years ago, when I was a struggling
college student, I had a greenie named "George". He shared a 34 gallon
tank with a crawdad who lived in a burrow underneath George's favorite
piece of driftwood. George was, I think, my first pet native. I caught
him on hook and line. I kept him for two years before (hold on to your
hats, guys) releasing him into the wild. So even though many of you never
thought I would admit to keeping a Centrarchid, being the Cyprinid fan that
I am, LO!, here is proof that even I was young and foolish once.
BTW, while L chrysocephalus seems to be a fairly unremarkable minnow to
many folks, a male in full pink is something to behold! Common as dirt
around here, but damn they're pretty. I've seem 'em keep that color year
round too.
Prost,

I can't stand cheap people. It makes me real mad when someone says
something like, "Hey, when are you going to pay me that $100 you owe me?"
or "Do you have that $50 you borrowed?" Man, quit being so cheap!
