[Histonet] Minnows?

[Kathleen Roberts]

I get everything from mice to birds to fish (zebrafish, but close enough 
for our purposes), with the occasional larger animal thrown in (deer, 
horse).  Since I'm in academic research, things are different for me-I 
receive instructions on what to do with every tissue sample submitted, 
so if I were you, I would first check with the person/organization that 
sent them and ask them what they want.  Likely you will have to decal 
them, process them whole, and cut them to the level that they want.

Good luck!

>I've got two silvery minnows to deal with.  One is about ½" and one 1".  I've not done fish and am not sure if I should decal them first and try to process them whole or what!  A whole mount would be interesting to look at but maybe that's not the best way.  I can't imagine dissecting out tiny little organs... Anyone have any experience with tiny fish?  I'd appreciate any clues!
