Argyroneta aquatica?

[Magician]

Does anyone know if there's any CB's of these within the united states, anyone keeping them in the US?

I can't find much information,so i'am going to assume a big NO in both these areas, and that there pretty unheard of in the hobby?

Argyroneta aquatica is a palearctic species and do not occur in the US. I have never heard of anyone keeping or breeding them. I have had some in my aquarium but they haven´t been feeling well. They have built small air nests in the vegetation but I haven´t managed to feed them though I have provided them with frog larvae and water invertabrates. But they are very special and great divers so it´s a pity you haven´t got any over there.
They have great chelicerae and they are said to have a very painful bite.
I share a photo of a Finnish water spider.
