Title: Cool Native Darters
Post by: JeffroM on December 25, 2012, 12:33:36 AM

I've always thought darters are cool.  I guess they recently found some new ones and named them after Presidents and Vice Presidents.   HUH?  ???

Zchallenger - I know you like native fishes.  I figured you would be most interested in going to collect some Etheostoma Obama or maybe the Etheostoma JimmyCarter.  Any opinions?

Interesting, but I think the president naming is stupid.

Agreed 110%.  Regardless of party affiliation presidents have nothing to do with fish.
