When I finally make it back East, we're going to need to plan a pig-picking so I can meet up with everyone! My last pig-pickin' was in Cary a few years ago - good stuff! (just make sure there is vinegar-based sauce, none of that mustard stuff from SC). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aything other than vinegar based is just a poor imitation of bar-b-q sauce! ::ducks, and runs:: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m trying out a stone container to see if it triggers any into spawning dress. Probably won’t this season. But it’s worth a try… Glad to see everything going so well with these guys! May you make many more (and post them for sale/trade please) 😄 Edited June 21, 2022 by Jawjagrrl cheekiness 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineSong Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Just caught up on this thread--the tank looks great and it's so neat to see the shiners school. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 These Saffron Shiners are voracious eaters. Today, they’re getting a frozen food smorgasbord of Daphnia, brine shrimp, mysis, blood worms, and beef heart… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 Well… sometimes you win, other times you lose. I definitely lost a battle against a nasty bacterial infection in this Saffron Shiner tank. All fish died. *sigh* I’ll let things settle awhile, and look forward to a new project in here over the winter. I always get “new-fish-stir-crazy” by mid January… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoefishGofish Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I’ve been hoping to breed these guys as well up here in Canada. I’ve had good consistent success with the Rainbows (thanks to @WhitecloudDynasty) and really want to find a breeding group of these…. any suggestions would be great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In truth, no one I know of has a system figured out. Mine did not make it due to some nasty bacterial infection that crashed the tank unexpectedly. For me, they never turned red / yellow. There are some US aquarists active online who are keeping them and might be able to help. Try visiting the NANFA Facebook page, and making a post about your interest. I'll add that, sadly, unless you're able to arrange for a trip stateside, that shipping fish into Canada has been tricky. I've wanted to ever so badly, but the paperwork was too much to handle.

JoefishGofish Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Thanks for the info. I’ll continue digging. And I would consider visiting the USA for breeding group. If it can be shipped to P.O. Box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same problem earlier year of breeding rainbow shiner..they was very bad picking up bacteria infection. Now my line maybe more inbred but seem to do better in home aquarium setup Edited July 1, 2023 by WhitecloudDynasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
