    Default Amphibian-Killing fungus hides out in Crayfish.

    Just found this article and thought I'd share it with you guys.

    I know there is some debate when it comes to feeding these things to bigger frogs so I thought this might be useful. I've always kind of figured it would be fine to use them, but after reading this I don't think I would risk it.

    That is a good article i had know idea chytrid could harbor in crayfish, hopefully one day they can eliminate the fungus. But with other animals having it with them it could be very difficult. thanks for sharing
