Thanks for the input. I change out 1/3 of the water in all my tanks weekly.
So far, none of my silversides has gotten up enough speed to bump into
anything. If they were any more laid back they'd be bottom dwellers! I
assume you caught yours in MI. If so, then colder water definitely seems to
be one of the keys.

AC Dusky darter art. They seemed to bump into the glass and get a little
fungus on the tip of their "nose". With my broken leg last winter they did
not get the amount of water changes I would have liked. I lost them in
early spring. I had wanted to spawn them and do plan to try again. Good
luck with yours.
