You can't post images like that. You have to host them on another site, and then link them to the url. If you want a place to host your pictures, read the sticky in the "What is my Catfish" forum and email Tim (clothahump) to get you set up.

BTW, I think your minnows are Bigeye shiners (Notropis boops).

Does Oklahoma have them?
P.S. Is there any website with them?

They are supposedly fairly common in Oklahoma (distribution was one criterion I used to narrow down the identification).
Websites don't offer much in the way of husbandry information, if that is what you are looking for, but here is one.

That looks like them, but you have to find out the location of Turner Falls, that is where I caught them.

Turner Falls would be in south-central Oklahoma, which lies within the distributional range of the fish (I think).

That sounds right. Have you been there before?

Post by **Silurus** » 14 Oct 2003, 23:52

Nope. Figured out where it was via the Internet (ain't it a wonderful thing?).
