I have thousands of regular gambusia that are so jam packed in the local
runoff golf course stream that when you look in on a sunny day its like
looking at silver sheets of tinfoil swimming by. Maybe a few of your males
couldn't hurt because I would love to try to breed them with the "regular"
females I have if you couldn't manage to dig up any. Hopefully I would get a
nice ratio of black males.
I saw that you said you want the new Blue Ridge Mountains Sculpin that I
talked to you about a few months ago. I will Email Bob Bock soon and ask him
exactly where they are here in MD. If I find some I would definately be
interested in doing a nice trade.
Thanks,
Henry Deford
