Being difficult is my forte, only me... My screen name is different from my sign up name, I hadn't realized it would be an issue until kinda recently. You can pm me under Mascot, but for some reason using my screen name won't work.
I appreciate the thought, Annette, but since it was mid week I probably wouldn't have been able to make it (work - a word that Mikey and Jerry get to avoid!)
Mikey...I have four of those Hifins in my pond, two have been there for about three years. They seem to handle the cold winters here pretty well, but I'm not sure how they would do in cloder areas. Despite what I've been told, they don't stay on the botton, and sometimes I catch one or two of them swimming with the other fish and just hanging out. I've seen them at the surface following a lily stem to the top sucking the algae off the leaf, and also in the shallow end by the waterfall. Pretty kewl fish for bottom feeders!
