SURE I WOULD. LOL DID YOU SEE LI'S POST ON COLLECTING IN FLORIDA WHEN HE WAS DOWN THERE? THE PICS ALONE WILL MAKE YOU DROOL. THE VARIETY WILL JUST BLOW YOUR MIND. WHAT WE PAY FOR THEY CAN CATCH FOR FREE IN A CANAL @ 10" ALL DAY. SO SWEET.
Yeah - except for one teenie tiny little detail... they aren't true "wilds," are they? Most are aquarium fish released to the wild. Although, I must admit it must be a ton of fun to do it!
you can try snookn21 on MFK. He imports alot of fish form sa/ca. I didn't see those on his current list but know he'll take requests. They're such a common fish in the hobby there probably isn't much effort in collecting wc, but I might be wrong. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=203403
I've never seen wild caught's on Jeff's list. But, that is a good idea.
Dreams, I want one or two for the my breeding program for my EB's. Lessens the risk of getting an inbred and it should assure that the genetic makeup is absolutely as unrelated as it can be!
