Anne and I and son Bob from New Hampshire had a great time at
the Huntsville convention. Our belated thanks and congratulations
to all who worked so hard to make it the success it was.
But I have a problem:
With the security procedures now in place at the nation's airports,
we decided I would bring out "catch" back to Santa Barbara rather
than risk having son Bob's fishes refused at check-in. My intention
was to mail around half of the fishes to New Hampshire in breather
bags. Unfortunately, I had a huge die off within a few days of getting
home, and lost most of the lovely darters we brought home with us
from Alabama. Hard to tell why, as I checked the water carefully
before adding the fishes. :-(
If anyone living in "darterland" would be kind enough to send some
replacements for my aquaria and Bob's, I would be very grateful
indeed. The more colorful species, the better. :-)
I lost one Emerald, several each of Banded, Rainbow, and a few
colorful critters that I hadn't gotten around to identifying. Since I'll
be sharing with son Bob, I can use a good batch.
The only species suitable for aquaria in these parts are Threespine
Sticklebacks - Gasterosteus aculeatus. I will be happy to send as
many as you like in trade for the darters, if that's of interest.
