aquariumlover10 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 They are hitchhikers with shipments of ghost shrimp so they don't know how much to sell for I guess so they give them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

35ppt Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Oh well , shoot. I could have had the glory if I had googled it myself. I was guessing there were several fish called swamp darters and then I'd have to wade thru them to find the right one. aquariumlover10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen about NA natives, they're not usually that bad about sharing common names with too many species. They're a lot easier to pull up scientific names on than aquarium livestock (since many of those have not been formally identified). aquariumlover10 and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
