RovingGinger Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 That’s crazy cool. It makes me wonder if they were spotted locally and kind of rumors (or grouped in with something else) that got confirmed or so rare that it was a once in a lifetime chance to spot one above ground without hunting them out.

According to the article on rare occasions it was seen by locals, but not often enough for it to even really be known as a rare fish. A researcher saw a picture on social media of a odd fish a local that found in his backyard well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
