Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.
And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.
Fundulus majalis
Size: to 6"
Habitat: Generally inshore in harbors, inlets, and other quiet waters. Tolerates a wide range of salinities.
Notes: The largest and most attractive of the many species of killifish in the New Jersey area. The male is above, the female below.
Unlike their delicate cousins the Silversides, local killies are tough as nails, and can often survive several days in nothing more than cool damp seaweed.
