Stephan, thanks for your input. I went over all of the field guides, counting scales, etc back in 2002 and came to the same conclusion you did, but don't remember now exactly why. It was caught in Northern California, on the border of Sacramento and Placer Counties, in or around a little greenbelt creek. It was easy to switch to pinkies. She vigorously ate earthworms and rosy red minnows prior to that. The local pet store was out of frozen pinks so the first pinky was live, scented with a rosy red minnow, and she took it the first time offered. I think I scented one or two thawed frozen pinks after that but that was it. She's been on frozen thawed pinkies ever since. After getting her environment set up correctly she's been very easy to feed/care for. I've actually spent the last hour or so looking for on line pics confirming that she's a ribbon and still haven't found anything definitively like her in pics. As long as she's healthy it's not a huge deal, but I would love to know what she is! Thanks!
