June 29, 2025: Freshwater Collecting Trip

If you haven't done so yet, please sign up if you plan to join us. Deadline to sign up is Wednesday, June 25, 2025.

It will be a great day of fun in the sun potentially seeing (and maybe collecting!) rainbow, fantail, and green side darters, rosyside and blacknose dace, and numerous shiners.

Please be sure to purchase your license before the collecting trip. You will need the Non-Tidal Freshwater license regardless if you plan to collect or take fish home.

Wanted: Steatocranus Tinanti

Happy day!

I'm seeking 4-5 Steatocranus Tinanti. For those of you that remember Beltway Aquarium, in the early 90s I bred Steatocranus Casuarius out of those shops as a kid and would like to try my hand at the Tinanti.

Thanks!
