Moon,
I want to make sure that my silversides surviving the
shipping are indeed Labidesthes. I am not an expert
on their systematics, therefore I will take some pics
over the weekend and I will ask you gentlemen for
identification. As you mentioned, some people were
succesefull shipping Menidia beryllina. Labidesthes is
the one that doesn't survive the shipping insult.
