KILLIENUTZ SUFFERED A DENIAL OF SERVICES ATTACK
Unfortunately a week ago, KillieNutz Online suffered a denial of services
attack directed at websites worldwide using the CMS e107. Because of the attack, the website
and database were lost, but fortunately I maintain the majority of the data offsite. It will take
some time to completely restore the website, but I have begun making the necessary changes
and updates. Bear with me as I get KillieNutz Online up to par.

North American Killies Among the Smallest FishA recent paper in Ichthyol. Explor. Freshwaters, Vol. 21, No. 1, pp. 63-72, 3 figs., 1 tab., March 2010
An overview of North America’s diminutive freshwater fish fauna
Micah G. Bennett* and Kevin W. Conway*
Based on a review of the literature, we compile a table of North American freshwater fishes with maximum standard length (SL) less than or equal to 50 mm and information on size at sexual maturity. Using previously published criteria for miniature fishes (< 26 mm maximum SL, or those that mature at SL < 20 mm), we found evidence for seven miniature fishes on the North American continent: Elassoma alabamae, E. zonatum, Leptolucania ommata, Heterandria formosa, Megupsilon aporus, Cyprinodon macularius and Notropis saladonis, the smallest being E. alabamae (Spring Pygmy Sunfish, maximum size 25.5 mm SL). We compare the number of miniature species in North America to those from Africa, South Asia and South America and discuss patterns of distribution, habitat preference and imperilment amongst North America’s smallest freshwater fishes.
