As I look at the fish I have collected from more southerly locations this
year, I wonder what I need to do with them this winter.
Does anyone know how cold tolerant the following species are:
leptolucania ommata
bluefin killie
american flag fish
fundulus seminolis
fundulus cingulatus
fundulus chrysotus
Heterandria formosa
sailfin mollie
I keep the fish in a mostly unheated garage. Unheated tanks get down to
around 50 degrees. That's really nice for my local fish, but I am not sure
about the southerners I am keeping. I'd rather not heat the tanks if I can
avoid it, but I also would rather have the fish survive the winter in good
condition.
