Dear all
      I wrote to Ann
      I looked up the Fairy Shrimp, and found that the correct spelling is
Eubranchipus vernalis -not Eubranchia. Depressing to find that one of the the
people responsible for incorrect spellings on the internet is somebody you know
(spell his name correctly. It's GHOTI )
        There is an interesting article about a different endangered species of
Fairy Shrimp, Branchinecta mesovallensis,
at this site:
http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/swcbd/species/fshrimp/mvfs.html

I suggested to her that a better bet would be Triops (Triops longicaudatus),
which are often sold as pets the way Sea Monkeys are but grow in freshwater
instead of saltwater.

     I also mentioned that Dwarf Frogs (Hymenochirus boettgeri) might be nice
(becuase they are strictly underwater and easy to keep)

as are axolotls:
