	KES- USBR Endangered Sucker Fisf Update
		Fish captured from 1993-1995 were generally in good condition with few parasites and full bodies.
		Examination of sick and dead fish by fish pathologists indicated that a bacterial infection (Columnaris) was the primary cause of death.
		Fish hatched in 1991 were the dominant group.

		On the shelves above her desk was a fish bowl with 3 unknown fish inside, a small tank with 2 beta fish, a tank with her own beta fish, and the small tub with the two baby guppies.
		In the large tank were the snail, the crayfish, the sucker fish, 7 guppies, and 4 goldfish.
		The fish count reached a near-maximum of 21, but then the crab died, as well as one of the feeder fish (I noticed its decaying carcass caught in the filter, not the first time this has happened).

		Conversely, most other Florida suckers (spotted sucker and several redhorse suckers) are much more elongate and slenderer than the chubsuckers, and although the mouth of the chubsuckers is slightly below the head, it is not nearly as far beneath the head as that of the spotted sucker and the redhorse suckers.
		The anal fin of the male sharpfin sucker is not bilobed as is that of the male lake chubsucker.
		Spotted suckers and the redhorse suckers have protrusible lips which they employ to pick up food from the bottom and it is these extendable lips which provide them with the amusing local name of buglemouth bass.

	Sucker Spawn
		Sucker Spawn was one of these; it matched one of the few "hatches" Spring Creek had at that time.
		Fishing for spawning trout is reprehensible, but I see nothing wrong with fishing for the egg-eaters that lurk downstream from redds.
		Fish feeding on eggs often seem a little less spooky than, say, a trout occupying the same lie during a sulphur hatch.

		In parrot fish, sucker fish, etc. the pharynx is equipped with teeth that grind, grasp and tear the food before it enters the esophagus.
		Fish with an air-tube connecting the bladder to the digestive tract can let gas escape through the mouth, (open swim bladder) but a closed swim bladder system, reabsorption is necessary.
		The entire skin of the fish is alive, even the scales are covered by a thin layer of living cells, the epidermis the only protective material covering the epidermis is slime secreted by mucus glands scattered over the body.

		Recent population estimates for suckers in the Lost River/Clear Lake watershed indicate their populations are substantial, and that hybridization is no longer considered as “rampant” as portrayed by the USFWS in 1988.
		Sucker year class strengths for some years are now available because suckers killed during die-offs in 1995, 1996, and 1997 were examined to determine the age of the fish.
		Also, based on the age structure of suckers determined from the 1997 fish kill, it was readily apparent that many older-aged suckers were in the population; from the early 1990s until 1997, it had been surmised that the age structure of the sucker populations were almost entirely younger fish.

		And when they recently discovered the fish spawning again in the wild, they were ecstatic: some of the spawning razorbacks were hatchery-bred, and they were returning to a favored habitat, in the wild.
		Ouray National Fish Hatchery, part of the Service's Fisheries Program, was established in 1996 to provide refugia, propagation, and technical development to assist in the recovery of the four endangered Colorado River fish: razorback sucker, Colorado pikeminnow, bonytail, and humpbacked chub.

		As far as the aquarium setup, the Sucker Fish is not a fussy fish, but it prefers lots of hiding places, such as rock piles, vegetation and a dimly lit tank.
		It is important not to clean the algae in your tank if you have a Sucker Fish, as the algae are their source of food.
		The easiest way to catch this fish is to leave a net in the water for about 15 minutes without moving it.

		Most sucker fish are found in the clear, cold streams and lakes in the central United States.
		Adult suckers are omnivorous, feeding on plants, algae, crustaceans, and larval insects.
		Suckers make an excellent smoked product and can be turned into flavorful fish sausages, due to the whiteness, flavor, and texture of the meat.

		Heavy pollution, excessive fishing and obstruction of the spawning migration route are the main factors behind the dwindling fish stocks.
		Cruel fishing methods such as poisoning and shock have also reduced adult Chinese sucker populations during the annual spawning season.

		Suckers produced this year must survive for five to 10 years to mature, spawn, and contribute to an increased population.

		Placid in nature these fish exhibit an almost 'clownish' manner, swimming along the edges and contours of the aquarium, occasionally swimming along plants or up the sides of the tank until they are inverted and drift back down to the bottom.
		These fish also operate during the day, and almost immediately stop and rest when all lights have been turned off (in the aquarium).
		Suckers get their names from the presence of a "toothless mouth and a comb like row of teeth on the pharyngeal bones of the throat" (Nichols, p.58).

	Algae Eating Cyprinids
		The long fl stripe is also easy to see in young fishes, but the scale edge pattern and zig-zag edges are not clearly visible until the fish reaches the length of 5-7 cm (2-3"); the ones that are normally seen in European shops are about 3-5 cm (1-2") long.
		This is a close relative to Siamese Algae Eater, and it is possible that specimens of this fish are sometimes found in schools of Siamese Algae Eater or "false siamensis".
		The fish is light brown and there is a dark grey or brown horizontal pattern on its side, which can be either a zig-zag edged solid stripe or a row of separate spots or anything between these two.

	The Flowerhorn Fish - Fish Facts - Breeding Techniques
		Some people keep sucker fish in the tank together with the other fish because the sucker fish is known to be able to feed on the fish's waste and algae, serving as a good cleaning agent.
		Also, although the Flowerhorn is a freshwater fish, even freshwater ponds and rivers have a certain concentration of salt, thus adding a little bit of salt in the water also helps to make the fish feel "at home".
		The Flowerhorn fish is aggressive and territorial in nature, and it is not advisable to keep another fish with it.

		But sucker fishing was just a lot of fun and some times dad would come along and try his luck too.

		The food-value of the June sucker is one of the major reasons LDS pioneers settled in Utah Valley.
		The fact that the June sucker is not a bottom-feeding sucker but a plankton-eater made the June sucker a suitable game fish in the 17th century, but the fish is now protected by federal law.
		June suckers are named after their June spawning season and often live between 20 and 30 years, which is two to three times as long as most trout.

		Experts didn't expect the suckers to reproduce, as they were thought to require a river in which to spawn.
		As it is, the fish are very rarely seen in the lake, and scientists have only observed them when they swim up the river to spawn each June.
		Lake-bottom vegetation is key for the June sucker because it provides a place for young fish to hide from predators.

		Many Lake Superior fishermen and fish processors, who are just as savvy, consider longnose suckers an abundant but underutilized species that can be marketed in new, attractive ways.

	Our Klamath Basin Water Crisis Upholding rural Americans
		The 1992 Biological Opinion developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) states – "the construction of the Sprague River dam near Chiloquin effectively blocked approximately 95% (70 river miles) of the potential spawning range of the Lost River and shortnose suckers in Upper Klamath Lake".
		Last year a committee of Tribes, agencies and stakeholders voted unanimously that dam removal was necessary since it blocks over 90% of 'endangered' sucker fish habitat.

		Your tank is inhumanely small for the number of fish you have.
		Goldfish need 10 gallons per fish, and as for "sucker-fish" what you're describing is a plectosomas, which should never be mixed with goldfish.
		You could probably get away with 3" worth of fish, but even if your goldfish are pretty small, you've got at least 5" worth of fish there (and probalby more).

		If there is no reaction, you may be okay having the sucker fish in the tank with the turtle.
		If the turtle swims up to the fish and nips at it or keeps bothering it, you should remove the fish and find it a new home (or return it to the store).
		If you feed the turtle this he (or she) may be more inclined to try to eat any other fish that might be in the tank.
