In relationship to the statement, "Neons were taken from a hot spring in
Colorado between 1980 and 1984. It's doubtful they are established, but more
field studies need to be conducted." Do you happen to know the name of the
hot springs where the neons were taken? I live in Colorado and after my
experience in Wyoming, I'd like to visit another hot springs site.

Neons were taken from a hot spring in Colorado between 1980 and 1984. It's
doubtful they are established, but more field studies need to be conducted.
One kuhlii loach was taken from a Florida ditch in 1993.
It should be noted that the USGS is recording the OCCURRENCE of non-native
fishes. That doesn't always mean these fishes are established (i.e.,
reproducing).
