    A few weeks ago my girlfriend and i were at the colorado aquarium society fall auction it is a mix of freshwater and saltwater. We were just going to go and buy some plants and a few freshwater fish. Than these little buggers came up and no one was bidding so i said why not 1 dollar and i got a school of 6 tiny sheepshead minnows(the average size is 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch). They are doing great in my reef setup schooling around and picking at algae and left overs in the sand and rocks. I am having quite a bit of trouble finding any info about them on the internet. Anyone else have any experience with them.
