My new favorite game is trying to get people who should know better to run around in creeks with me. Yesterday I got my co-workers to do it.
First we were rousted from the Hancock Golf Course for trying to steal minnows from the direct path of speeding balls (there were some good minnows there!). So we had to go to Shipe Park instead.
There were hordes of the standard mosquitofish, but I was able to find another platy hiding among the hoi polloi. This one I can only presume is a male and certainly more beautiful than the other one in my possession.
You can see this platy, and all my other local fish, in this video tour of my Austin creek aquarium.
