As of late I've kept mostly freshwater angelfish and bettas. Not exactly North American. The more I've heard about them the more interested in them I get. I'm thinking of learning more about some of them and hopefully trying my hand at keeping them in aquariums. If there's a place to learn more about natives, this should be the place.
Looking forward to meeting you all!

Hi! Well, let's see. I'm from Minnesota. Fish have been a part of my life as long as I can recall. I enjoy going fishing, as well as eating them, but I also enjoy keeping fish. The first native fish I had was a minnow that I caught with an ice cream pail on the end of a string when I was around 9. The little guy lived for nearly 3 years in a goldfish bowl on our coffee table!

Welcome to the forum!
If you've spawned angels, you probably know that most of the time the parents will gladly assist the other fish with eating the eggs. Sunfish are much better parents, and have quite a few similarities with South American cichlids. You might want to check them out.
We may not have anabantoids, but we do have our own air-breathers: gars, bowfin, and mudminnows.
You might want to check out the minnow section too, and learn a little about some of the cyprinids that are near you.
Again, welcome to the forum!
Steve
