Fish Folk Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 Change-up time! I’m moving / trading my Southern Redbelly Dace in, and getting some Mountain Redbelly Dace. Here’s a comparison of males in spawning colors… SRBDs MRBDs I’ve lightly edited my aquarium setup… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Folk Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 Excited about the arrival of MRBDs this week. Watching videos. See my random observations below… Oak leaves. Note to self: add more oak leaf litter. Intense Flow. No such thing as too much flow. Rocks size. Rocks can be larger than what I’ve been using. Landscaping rocks could work fine. Or boil some from creek bed behind park just down the road a mile. Interesting to note dimorphism. Females circle a bit more, whereas males are focused on the drop zone. A large rock pile in a tray will do fine to catch eggs. Males can look spectacular in home aquaria. Seems possible good tank mates with Hillstream loaches. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutBout Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Amazing stuff! Thanks for showing your setup and thinking process. I've always been thinking about doing dace or shiners for a hillstream tank. If you don't mind, where did you source your fish from? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
