| Comments | Pahrump poolfish have lived in warm springs of southern Nevada for thousands of years and are considered a native species to this area. The recent steep drop in numbers is due to red swamp crayfish, mosquitofish, household goldfish, and koi fish being unlawfully introduced into Lake Harriett. |
