Dear Doug,
What you have are indeed Central Mudminnows (Umbra limi). Umbra
pygmaea are not native to our area. Great pictures! I am going to
email you my care sheet for Central Mudminnows off-list. If anyone
else wants this please email me.

Brian

Subject: NANFA-L-- Central Mudminnows in WI

I caught some Central Mudminnows this morning in a brook that runs in the
valley between my cabin and the lake I live on. A sandy, very seasonal brook
that flows through a wetland before emptying into the lake.

My first fishpix of the season:

Being a newbie I hope these are Mudminnows. Before I checked my books I was
sure they must be killifish.

Anyone have advice on keeping them? I'm going to start a 30-gallon tank for
fish from my lake.
