I was hanging out with John and Betty Oyer about 1-2 months ago and they had some "blueberries". I'm not 100% the exact species because there's a few different ones that are similar such they it's hard to be certain these days. They looked good and would be great for a show tank.

Last year at the ohio extravaganza there was hundreds of these, might be worth a shot to check there forums or maybe some one connected in the ohio area might know who is breeding them.   Check with Josh.

I parted out what I had into trios or quads and took them to a MCA auction a few years ago. It appeared they went home with a few different buyers. Hopefully a few people in MI are still keeping them going, but I haven't seen or heard of anyone in MI with them since.
