Cool darter tanks, small nongame fish don't get as much recognition as they deserve

Nice tank and Darters. Are you a member of NANFA?

Nice tank and Darters. Are you a member of NANFA?

Thanks! I think at one time I was a member. I actually share information with PAFBC on what I find and where. In return, the fish and boat commission lets me in on data collected from electro-shock collecting. It's a pretty good deal for me! Plus I help keep tabs on migration patterns and that sort of thing. There's very little information on several darter species. Nice to be able to contribute.

I live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and I had no idea we have these rainbow darters here in the creeks around my house. This isn't my picture, but someone posted this picture on our local fish page of a darter they caught a mile from my house.

Love your tank, and the fish. Nicely done! IMO sometimes the smaller tanks set up really well are more fun to watch... they pull you in closer and it's more like a treasure hunt.

Thanks so much! I really enjoy this tank. I have a lot of tanks, and some pretty big ones. This is my smallest right now, and for at least the moment it's my favorite!

Cool, so I guess you can get bullheads easily as well
