[QUOTE="Nada, post: 6549, member: 361"] They just grow too slow for me. And I have some issues with Taxonomy on them. Mostly I don't believe that it's accurate. I know of areas out here where there are up to 4 species inhabiting the same area and they all look very similar. Chalcodes for intance; some call them Tucson blonde/Mexican blonde, some call them Payson Blonde. They're different species. Chalcodes comes form southern Az where as Paysoni come from Payson 200 miles north. But they're commonly sold as the same. I do occasionally collect local species. Breed, and release them. Believe it or not the pet trade definitely effects the wild populations here. [/QUOTE]
