Hey Tom,

Over the past couple years my buddies and I have found about 15 live brooksi from South Dade. None of them were good and plump when found, and the majority were pretty underweight. Despite our efforts, most of the kings we tried keeping from out there died within a few months.

In the contrast, the kings we've found in North Dade have done well in captivity, and even bred and produced eggs within a couple months of being captured. Too bad they're usually pretty dark. We call them "black brooksi".
