Gidds:
Since when are MINNOWS marine fish?

There is the sheepshead minnow. They live in marine environments (they also live in freshwater). We have them here in RI. (not saying that to correct you, I just know you usually seem interested in those little facts).
 
You're right, I forgot about the sheepshead minnow. Aren't they technically brackish though? Just in case anybody else is interested in factoids they are a species commonly used for toxicology testing. I don't see it as being corrected, I see it as you unwittingly giving him ammunition ;)
The wee butterfly fish are very confused about the big glass box of water they are in but they are more active and colorful now that they're warm. As a bonus I have a little opposum shrimp that I didn't even realize I scooped up.
 
Take care of those fish and make sure they are warm and safe for the winter. I'm wondering if you should fedex them to the tropics.
