1] Are these chrosomus that were the actors and actresses in the video fired up and
spawned after being kept for a long time or are they [the spawners] collected in
late winter/spring that were ripened already? Compared to ones in natural habitat
are they as brilliant? Has anyone here kept and bred redlip, greenhead, and races
of yellowfin shiners? Do they fire up like in the wild?
2] I wonder does the Mississippi Southern redbelly dace look similar to other
SRBDs elsewhere? Is it protected?
3] Anyone here kept and/or bred arrow darter and tangerine darter? Are they all
protected in every states [and cannot be kept?]?
4] I had seen a pic of whitetail shiner [Cyprinella galactura] in Fishes of Arkansas
book that shows the shiner with pink face. Are whitetail in the east similar? What
about a pink whitetail [in Hiwasee?] that was mentioned earlier sometimes ago in
this list?
5] Has anyone here seen nupital male ironcolor shiner? What do they look like?
