native

Hi all. TL/dr: Anyone interested in helping me collect sunfish/darters/other natives in the Saint Louis area, for my pond? I have a pond in my yard that I'd like to add native fish to. Darters, longear or redder sunfish, that sort of stuff. Maybe a small cat. I could buy them on-line, but...

I collected this small, silvery fish in a brackish river (near the Chesapeake Bay) in Virginia. I would estimate it is about 1-2", and is likely a juvenile of whatever species it belongs to. Seems to be a bottom dweller in nature, though swims in the middle too. Very active and seems to be...

I am getting a 40 gallon tank In a few days and I want to stock it with some predatory native fish. I want there to be a green sunfish in it but I would want to get more fish than that. Does anyone have any ideas for it.

Check it out. This lake is swarming with Mangrove Gambusia (Gambusia rhizophorae). It's probably the largest number of wild livebearers I've seen while being in South Florida. This guys are a lot of fun. They are slightly different from regular Gambusia holbrooki. I've only seen them in...

I would really like to get rock bass for my 125 gallon tank but can’t find them anywhere for sale. Does anyone know of any where that’s sells them?

Heya. I'm so new to this so I'll tell ya a story... Ok, so my son's were doing some voluntary community service (removing debris for our local golf courses canal sobthey could swim) and happened upon a cast net in the muck. Since I have an empty 75gal tank ,I figured I'd take them a bucket and...

I have 2 green sunfish, one is 2" the other is about 3.5" Each one has established one side of the tank as their territory They are both in the 70gal, with a few decorations for hiding. Not the final setup, just until I get a stand for the tank (its on the floor) Tank Dimensions are around 48" x...

55 gallon will only be temporary I'm certain. I have a 125 of bosemanis that are very old and have been dying off pretty steady. I want to know what would look nice that I could catch. And where to catch it. I'm located in eastern Columbus.

so I've recently acquired a 200 gallon tank and obviously I'm thinking about what fish i should add. since i live in australia, elated catfish and salmon tail catfish are pretty common and available at most fish stores near me. I'm interested in getting a couple oscars, but i would also like to...

So, I live in south Florida where I wouldn't consider posting this to a coldwater tank, but I am trying to specialize with natives, so, here I go! Around my area is a beautiful little pond that was made from fill. South Florida has a lot of these fill ponds where the HOAs have dug...
