2010 SMP Interest?

[sumpnfishy]

If you are referring to the strained were using for the smp then those were Los Berros. I currently only have males of those. I have a good group of Los Pinos though.

I will have a female for you at Aquapolooza or even better, you can have whats left of my colony!

[sumpnfishy]

Cool, thanks.

[Herpchat]

Not a problem;

I have two locations for them and cave mollies so I am good.

Hmm maybe try the Arkansas darter or Least darter. Those are both local species of concern. It's what the Sams club reserve thing is intended to protect.

[sumpnfishy]

Both would be fairly difficult for the average hobbyist to breed. Also, the Arkansas Darter is a candidate for listing as a Federally Endangered Species so it will likely become illegal to keep them in the near future.

I just saw this thread and would like to participate. I was also wondering if the ringed salamander would qualify? I was out picking up boards and rocks looking for earthworms to feed my pair of Oscars and found this, I assume; female.

Man, at first glance, I thought that was a big ol' coolie loach! Beautiful animal!

I am not actually a fish keep but... We are hoping to have a 65 cold water tank going in the next month or two. As well as completely freeing up a 35. I love researching so this may very well be something I am interested in.
Anyway, I was unaware there was a program such as this, and much less that our club offered it. I would assume that we have had a pretty good influx of new member who are also unaware of this. Perhaps we can talk briefly about it at tonights meeting? I know we seem to have gained an abundance of young member foaming at the mouth to spen money on their new found hobby. Would be a great time to get them focused on producing healthy, genetically pure fish that are endangered... Sound like all great lessons for young people, and us adults.

I still have not received anything back from cares. I will reach out again tonight. Anyway, April and I will be out on Vacation for the next meeting. While waiting for the next meeting I will try and get in contact with someone who runs the SMP for another club. I will also see what I can find in other forums to try and educate myself more on the matter. Fingers crossed maybe for our June meeting I will have something worth discussing.

Interested and can donate fish to the project.
