if you want to find out if you have them, go to a body of water (fresh) with little to no current, and lots of plant matter on the bottom, and use a dipnet to pick up some of the plant matter, they look like little shrimp when caught, and kick

they are crustaceans

im thinking dwarf puffer food

i have a few in my garage from my last aquatic plant collecting trip

i cant believe that guy is making money off common stuff, i guess people are just too quick to draw their wallets

 

[davo]

hey if no one knows what they are or where they came from, they wont no better, and out comes the money
