NFC: RE: studfish
Studfish aren't picky eaters, so anything alive that they can eat, they will eat. And I think it's a good idea to rinse off wild caught food.
As for breeding them, I've no experience there....

Subject: NFC: studfish
I'm a first time contributor to the message list but have browsed it for some
time now. I was hoping someone out there could help me out. Last week I was
up in the Arkansas Ozarks and captured a handful of very large (~7") Fundulus
catenatus in a small river by sight-fishing with an ultra-light rod and reel,
no less! Anyway, I have them back at home in a tank with some plants. They
are going through the spawning procedures, since my water is slightly warmer
than what they were captured in. I have them feeding on dried Gammarus from
Wal-Mart but want to vary their diet. I need a thumbs up or thumbs down on
grabbing a handful of critters from outside and serving them up to the
studfish. The Dallas area is pretty dry this time of year, but I am hoping
showers will drive red worms to the surface. Since I caught the guys on
'crawlers, they should be fine, right? Would washing them first help? Any
other hints on northern studfish procreation are greatly appreciated!
