Will consider that. I want something that would be endemic to southern California, or rarely seen in other places. I saw this pupfish that is critically endangered because they only like water in this shallow river in .4 square miles.

[KATALEKEEPER]

most of the pupfish are very endangered.

What about mosquitofish? Not exactly an oddball but I’ve seen them in ponds up north, California should be no problem for them.

The world doesnt need more gambusia. I was looking at Sticklebacks as well. They seem pretty sweet. Will research after school.
