Chris Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 If you don't mind me asking, which dealer did they come through? I'm interested in keeping a few more natives. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Folk Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 (edited) 💥 BOOM 💥 Got Etheostoma zonale fry -- pelagic phase! Here's a better look after I added ca. 1-liter of vernal pond water loaded with nice organisms. (I'm explaining them to my young boys here 😅) Edited May 25 by Fish Folk 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
