General: Pahrump Poolfish (Empetrichthys latos latos) are small, guppy-like fish that used to live in springpools and streams in Pahrump, Nevada. Development in the Pahrump area dropped the watertable, and the spring where they lived (Manse Spring) went dry. The remaining fish were rescued, and now live only in man-made refugia. I understand that there is a refugia at Boulder Dam that I have never seen, and another at Corn Creek on the Desert National Wildlife Range that is open to the public. The species is listed as Endangered.
