Re: [Killietalk] Fundulus diaphanus (Banded Killifish)

Jim:

You probably let the water and fish get too hot.  I always put frozen
cold packs underneath the collection bags in the styrofoam containers
when I place the fish and water in there.  This usually prevents that
problem ... Oh yes, do not crowd the fish AND I also use an anti fungal
medication in the water to prevent fungus arising from abrasions that
may have happened during collecting.  Works for me!  The ice packs keep
the water cold and the fish happy. 


Stay well and happy collecting.

Leo
