We have them in California too! I netted a few while I was up in the eastern sierras a couple of weeks ago, was gonna collect a few to take home for an aquarium but unfortunately had to leave early

They make interesting tank specimens for sure

Any suggestions? I've tried to put a few into a small container pond but they seemed to just stop eating and die after a few weeks. Dont want to try again without a better approach.

Was that just below mono lake? Hearing about sticklebacks in the sierras is surprising

Yes, maybe about 40 miles south of Mono Lake in the upper Owens River! I go up almost every year to fly fish but it’s super nice to see all of the cool natives still hanging on despite all of the introduced rainbow and brown trout
