Elassoma boehlkei are protected here in SC but Riverbanks maintains several populations of them in their Species Maintenance Program. Dustin and I have found some nice populations of them, a few of which are now protected and another is in the works. Also found some populations of E. okatie. I will be taking two people from Riverbanks (and a DNR guy or two maybe) to get some bluebarred pygmies this Saturday (hopefully from-in-least three separate locations.

Subject: Re: NANFA-L-- Winter AC is in the mail!
I got mine today. I didn't know I was in it, so that was a fun surprise.
So, that's what some of you guys look like, eh?
I've never really gotten all that excited by Elassomas before, but after
reading this AC issue I think a trip to the nearby swamp is in order.
It's been awhile since I kept them, but methinks they deserve a tank of
their own. Hmmm... I wonder if I can get them to eat Cyclop-eze if I mix
it with live ones? Does anybody have any E. boehlkei?
Anyway, as usual, a fine publication!
