That is crazy... there are a couple ponds in Boulder which are numbered in the around 300-500 and that was this spring. They didn't want people down there and they suggested they might dispose of them and give them to a someplace like a wildlife rehabilitation place for birds of prey...but people - don't go there and catch them! These were ~6-8" or bigger it was on the news. This is Colorado and it freezes pretty hard sometimes.
The Shellies are funny, my friend has them and there are disputes between males. I think the extra male needed a new home too.
There were a bunch at the Aquarium Society auction last spring, and I bet there will be a bunch more in the fall auction!!!
Congrats on the tank though it looks nice. Heck yeah, a 40G breeder would be the best - most square inches for the bottom, in only 36" width. $1 per gallon sale. Whoot.
