Title: Pupfish Article in Popular Science

There is a nice general article about pupfish in Popular Science (originally in Field & Stream). I thought some might be interested in it.

Welcome to the fascinating world of pupfish. There are many members keeping pupfish, not diabolis as that would be verboten. They are a very interesting fish with lots of personality. Most are not that difficult to breed if you can provide the correct water parameters (hard, really hard) and temperature. I find the that combo along with sunlight makes all the difference. I wish there was more interest as most species are in trouble and we need as many hobbyist to keep these fish going.
