how did you find the fish?

 

[CatLover]

That is wonderful that you saved them and plan to release them back once their home isn't dried up! You are a true hero

It looks good. My old bio teacher used to get fish from ponds all around here and put them in his 55 gallon tank. We had sunfish, a big catfish, a pickerel, and a big pike. Which died then was wrapped up in newspaper and put in one of the history teacher's brief cases.
But They're interesting, but as long as they get released, I don't think it was fair that my bio teacher kept the fish he caught.

They were caught with a minnow seine and carefully acclimated for 1 hour into their new home, I am and will release the fish back into the creek because i too dont beleive in keeping wild animals/fish...

sweet. I'd keep them if it were me. But you're not into that, and that's cool too. Good work.
