If you want to raise a fish species in aquarium, why not try something a little different than run of the mill FHM?
Spotfin shiners
satinfin shiners
bluntnose minnows
banded killifish
These are all native to your area and I have raised them in aquariums. The shiners are very interesting to observe. The killifish is neat as well. The blunose minnow is very similar to the FHM.
Probably want to stay away from the Bluntnose Minnow in Great Lakes VHS States, as well as with Emerald and Spottail Shiners.
When you mean raised, did you actually spawn them and all that other stuff. Would be interesting to hear about.
