Cool Native Darters
« 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.

I have about 18,000 rounds of .223 I'm  looking to get rid of, 100 rd bags. 1-4 bags $40 ea, 5-9 bags $38 ea, 10 or more bags $35 ea. I can't put this in the for sale section, its not fish related. No shipping.
