Re: Fundulus Natotus

["Bruce Stallsmith" <fundulus at hotmail_com>]

With Fundulus notatus, the males have a solid, smooth-edged black line along 
the side, and the females have an irregular black line that looks more like 
a group of blotches connected by a thinner black line. Fully adult females 
are also more round and full-bodied. The same sex pattern is also true for 
the closely related F. olivaceus.

Hopefully your notatus are willing to take flake food. If you also give them 
small or chopped earthworms, or frozen brine shrimp, you'll probably have 
some very active, robust fish.
