Fish Folk Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I have kindled an interest in a US Native temperate freshwater species: the Tangerine Darter... This fish is native to streams and rivers in central and southern Appalachia. The Tennessee Aquarium has some very good footage of them being caught in the wild... Now this footage (lo-fi) displays some incredibly beautiful specimens kept in a Virginia Mountain-Stream Exhibit... Here's a nice short from YouTube / Tennessee Aquarium on Tangerine Darters in home aquaria... I'm in! I've got to see about getting a group of these... 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 This is so cool! I’d love to breed hundreds of these beautiful darters to help with endangered mussels… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
