[GSAS-Member] TWO-Spined Stickleback



I collected two-spined Sticklebacks by the Yakima River, over 100 miles away 
from brackish or salt water. Maybe they came up the Columbia? I've also found 
young lamprey eels in the same location. If anyone is interested in taking 
these guys, as I need the tank they are in. They accept all live food, some 
flake, and probably frozen. They are very inquisitive and swim right up to the 
glass. I think they're cute. Very sensitive to ich, though, but I've already 
successfully treated them once with Malachite Green. Cold-water (outdoor) and I 
wouldn't keep them with other fish. If they get ich, just treat them and do 
water changes at the first signs of stress. They bite the glass if you wiggle 
your fingers at them.
