The 4

These are the little fellas we brought back for the fish tank. Perfectly legal, I did the research and honestly don't think it will harm the population as we caught more than hundred of the little fellas in one stretch of river so it was a healthy system. Plus my little brothers love them, as do my dad and I.
They are adapting well and will hopefully live for many years. There are many things I hope to learn from them about their species.
Two of them actually had hooks lodged in their throats from when we caught them, I wasn't sure if they could adapt to a new environment with these hanging out of them but after about a week both of the hooks were found on the bottom of the tank and they were hungry! Tough little bastards! This does go to show that releasing fish with hooks in them does not cause as much damage to them as I had previously believed.
They have large appetites and are great to watch and i'll probably put some more photos up later at some point.
