Anyway, I think that striped shiners are a very adaptable species. They can
probably do well at constant temps in the upper 70s F. They're aggressive
feeders, but not aggressive in the territorial sense. I have a few in tanks
at the moment, but they're all relatively large. I think I could track down
smaller ones at a local creek. Also, if you're looking for killifish, there
should be some local species that could work. Fundulus lineolatus and F.
chrysotus should both be somewhere close to you, although it might be easier
to catch them with a seine net or minnow trap rather than a dipnet.
