the only other site i have seen flame chubbs was a lone individual while we
were doing the urban stream survey in the chatt city limits. it was a small
creek east of the city we used as a reference stream to illustrate more specie
diversity in an un ubanized stream.
i have never seen flame chubbs in color in the wild tho a year ago i believe
the tn aquarium had some IN color. even out of color they have golden
spangles and flecks and a hint of red.
they are illegal to keep in tn as they are listed... due to their very
limited habitat of springs and spring runs. it does not take many trips into the
rural areas to see all the channeled spring runs, pasture land w/ no canopy
over runs and dammed springs. it can be very disheartening.
i hope we / you are successful in finding many populations.
there are many springs out there and fun to snorkel if you find a good one.
still got your special mask?
