BM,
Not that I recall.

I did say Gambusia are found in ditches or other temporary low places with water.
Grass shrimp are a barometer of clean water. Around here, I only see them in relatively clear ponds, not muddy disturbed water and in the presence of pondweed. They are the "canary" in my big pond...when I see them I know all is well, if I don't see them, a problem may be looming.
