Freshwater jellyfish in Washington?

[Kaosu]

They are not even remotely rare. They exist on all continents except for Antarctica. As an invasive species with no potential for threatening anything anywhere, why would they be protected? I don't think I even have to check on this one being legal It's too outlandish to have a law.

did not know they were invasive ^_^.

In that case..lol i already have a cold water tank >.> hmmmmm

Count me in Aaron, I'd love to go tromp around in the mud! Also, I just bought my fishing license so maybe we can catch some little Lepomis

This thread is officially awesome.

Yeah, Oxydoras. I wouldn't mind hanging out to reel in a few sunnies, too. We should bring a native ID guide just in case we get something odd.

Those would be marine jellies, similar to the ones in Lake Palau, a marine lake.


Not my video, just digging stuff up for the sake of completion in this thread. Still going out Saturday morning to get me some jellies.
