Thanks!
Yes, we were in north western VA.
I think if more people knew about them, they would be way more popular plus catching your own fish is really fun.
I would say cool water as opposed to cold water. They can tolerate temps well into the 70's if the have lots of oxygenation. While most darters require cooler water than tropicals and they typically need frozen foods, they are amazing animals to watch. I should put some video up to show how funny they are. They remind me of little lizards.
I would reccomend checking out www.nanfa.org
The north american native fish association. This site got me interested in natives. Tons of info on the that forum. I would recommend going into the archives and reading the old stuff as well as the new.
