In Washington there are many beautiful lakes, McKinley Lake is one of them. McKinley Lake is a wet place that gets lots of rain; during December this area sees the most rain while July is mostly the driest month. This lake is so wonderful. Now, you may feel that's lots but there's even more amusing things to do here in the Northern Cascade Range. Lakes? Sure, Lake Scanewa is close at hand, and in the event that you don't mind getting soaked, you can always go whitewater

Tanwax Lake

However, they have a single long dorsal fin that ends close to the small tain fin. Does not show any stripes or trout colors. But grey in color.

They are now in my indoor fish tank and get along well with the larger gold fish. What are they??... |
