Temperature in stock tank now down into middle 40's F, below what these guys would ever experience in the wild. The fish are only three generations from collection out of natural waters near Tampa. None appear to be interested even in live BS so likely not feeding. They are far too small and thin to go into winter, even if they were Northern Bluegill. Will harvest all that remain and acclimate them to a 75-gallon aquarium for winter.
Tank will then be drained till next March. Round two will involve breeding Fliers in same tank. I really want get pictures of a male Flier on the nest, then rear them up in the same tank.
