Looks like the wild sailfins I have had. No idea on the blue ones. You can send me some flag fish, to hard to find around here.

Dunno about the others but that's a wee lil bluegill you found. I caught those all the time growing up. The pond was FULL of them. Cutie!

I have never shipped fish before but tell ya what Susan if you pay for the shipping and walk me through it I will get you some and before I send them I will quarantine them and convert to flake and frozen, out of appreciation for all I have learned from your posts over the last couple of years.

That would be great, but would rather wait till spring as they are already predicting snow here. But will get back with you then. I don't even get overnight very well so in spring they will ship better priority.

that would not be a problem, I am working on setting up a 55 for just flagfish to breed. So the intention will be to have them available and I will not have a problem sending you some when you are ready. If I remember correctly you have plenty of tank space so I'll be sure you get male and female, but again dont forget and I will make that happen for you.

Cool to see the wild version of my fish, thanks for sharing!

Well after a couple weeks I have realized that these wild mollies are destroying my plants so they need to go!!! I dont mind them eating at the duckweed but they are now eating all of them and pulling them out of the ground, I am so irritated right now!!!!
