>Hi Mark!

>I hope you don't mind me e-mailing you. I found your name and address
>in a post in a native fish archive when I searched for _Notropis_
>_heterodon_.
>
>About three months ago, I purchased six fish from a normally reputable
>fish store. The salesperson told me that they were "Blue Line Rasboras".
>I have been surfing the net trying to find a picture of my fish. Although
>my fish look similar to a pic I found of _Rasbora_ _taeniata_, they look a
>lot more like Karl Schmidt's picture of the black chin shiner.
>
>Do you know if there is any way to tell a _Rasbora_ from a _Notropis_,
>short of either pulling them out of the pond or dissecting them?
>
>Also, if you could be so kind, I would appreciate any information on
>husbandry for the black chin shiner.
>
>Thanks in advance,
