>Hello all,
>I'd like to thank the NANFA Ohio members who helped me with darter
>advice for my trip to the Cleveland area.
>I went out yesterday with 2 friends from the Ohio Cichlid Asociation,
>after discovering quite a few of their members had gotten into tropicals
>after watching darters in creeks as kids.
>Our first site was a creek/tributary of the Rocky River. The water was
>shallow (from 2 inches to 2 feet) clear and barely flowing. There were a
>few inch long dace, and lots of rainbow darters. Even in laid back
>coloration, they are beautiful.
>The second site was the Rocky River itself, a stretch which had just had
>one bank bulldozed. The result was tons of silt and a very battered
>micro-environment. We'd been told the algae covered rocks would be
>interesting, only there was no algae, just silt. We tried anyway, and
>came away with six greenside darters.
>Fun stuff.
>All the fish are safely in Montreal now, however, I have a last
>question. The greensides have what appear to be tiny leeches on their
>fins. How should I treat them?
