Lampreys in the Aquarium?

I'll have to look to be sure...you're not the only one who has made that association, though...I know that I had at one point!
 
Aren't there some non-parasitic ones? I could be wrong...
You peeked my curiosity, so I googled it. Apparently, there are smaller lampreys (brook lampreys) that only get to be around 6-7 inches and are non-parasitic. There may be others also, but I don't have time to research it much deeper right now.
 
WolfPup522, I am glad that I piqued your curiosity enough to get you to research this. Thank you for Googling that and answering the question for both myself and cdawson. It could be interesting to see if anyone keeps those particular ones...
 
No problem! And thank you for reminding me how to spell piqued! heehee My brain temporarily shut down and I figured you all would know what I meant!:D
 
I was trying to figure out the most tactful way to do it, as you seem to be intelligent from what I can tell...:D
 
From what I read (and posted in the other thread), non-parasitic lampreys don't feed at all as adults, they live off stored body fat.
