I signed onto the forums quite awhile back, but just started posting recently. I've been keeping tropical fish for some time now, and with my many trips via kayak into many of the local swamps and creeks, I've become much more interested in Native species of fish and plants than tropical. I became hooked relaxing in a swamp to look into the water and see a lot of black crappe coming up to take a peek at me. I post regularly on Aquaria Central and occasionally on Monster Fish Keepers and Planted Aquariums. I am considering becoming a dues paid member of NANFA, nothing ruled out, just have a lot of other organizations I'm part of. Anyway, this site is proving to be a great resource....

Welcome Cave-dude, please do consider joining NANFA, your of course, welcome here either way, but we would appreciate another active member down here in the South. Sounds like you have the chance to get out fairly often. Pay attention here in the board, we often announce outings / trips / get togethers here and you are more than welcome to join us... we play around in N.GA some and up towards Chattanooga... snorkel the Conasuaga, etc. You should join us sometime... seem 'em underwater... they really do come up to you to try to figure out what you are doing then!

Caveman welcome to the forum.....I have also kept tropical fish in the past (Cichlids) and ran across this site while posting on MFk (I believe it was Sandtiger who introduced me to it). Nanfa has been a valuable resource for me in my quest to learn more about natives (there is so little general info. on aquarium or petfish sites), I hope you get as much out of it as I have.

Welcome to the Forum. I'm in Huntsville, working out of UAH. We do regular research trips to sites on the upper Paint Rock, and the Flint. There is certainly no shortage of local species or habitats...
I spend a lot of time paddling the Blackwell swamp area and and many other parts of Wheeler Wildlife refuge, I haven't made it to the Paint rock area yet, but would be more than happy to help out on a research trip. I feel the need to use my biology education from Purdue......
