**Update**

[DeepSeaFishin]

After about 5 weeks in the Native Tank. The two sunfish that I rescued from the dried up creek behind my house are doing well, happily eating guppy fry, and various bugs/worms.

The good news is some water has begun to flow in the creek and so I beleive in another few weeks water will be restored for the fall/winter.

Thus they will be released back into their home carefully of course. I plan to do a long 2 hour acclimated re-intro into the creek.

I myself dont beleive in keeping wild fish but this was an exception...

I also will be posting pics of their acclimation/release...

For now you can see an older pic of their tank by clicking on the link in my signature.

Aaw I'm glad to hear they're going home. Good on you for caring for them! Does the creek dry up anually or was this just a once off?

Usually the creek lowers its water level due to drought but it usually keeps about 2 feet of water...this summer there was no water at all but puddles...its strange they stayed in the same spot instead of going downstream..

Oh ok. I can't wait to see pics of their homecoming!

Update: Today the water level increased by about an inch and so i presume this week they will be released...
