Looking for source for species specific amphipods

[rasthavis]

I am planning a Florida seagrasses tank with all Florida native seagrasses, macro algae, fish and invertebrates.
So when sourcing organisms I need to know what specific species I would be buying.
Fish, macro algae, seagrasses and copepods usually have genus and species on the vendor websites.
But I am having trouble finding a source for amphipods that gives this information.
I would appreciate any info on people who culture specific amphipods.

Will you also be getting live gulf rock? Not a direct answer for you, but my live rock from @LiverockRocks Tampa Bay Saltwater had Amphipod, and tons of other stuff, with them. Maybe TBS would also know a source for just Florida gulf specific pods?

Just found this guy in my filter:

Gammarid Amphipod Swimming

Gammarid Amphipod swimming around small container. Came off a saltwater tank filter cartridge that I was rinsing

I found 2 companies - floridapets.com and saltybottomreefcompany.com who mentioned harvesting from the wild, so presumeably they are harvesting amphipods in Florida. I will check the species when i get them.
