Hello Travis and Hello Gavin,
Y'all are both welcome here. Glad to have you. Two more Ohio boys, we certainly have plenty of that already, so you should find it easy to meet up with some folks. Please take a bit to look around, there is a lot of information here. And there are a lot of knowledgeable people here ready to help as well.
Also, if you haven't done so (I know you have Travis) jump over to the main NANFA webpage at www.nanfa.org and see what we are really all about.
New Nanfa Members!

I'm ashamed that is taken me so long but I finally joined today after messing around on this site for a so long... Some might remember my pics from working in the Daniel Boone last year. Currently working for KDFWR at the Center for Mollusk Conservation in Frankfort. People going the the NANFA convention this year will get to see me presenting as well.

Thanks for joining! I look forward to meeting you (and everyone else) face to face in KY. Always good to have an invertebrate presentation or two mixed into our fishy talks.

That is awesome! I've been trying to recruit some of the Blacksburg/Virginia Tech fisheries community to get involved, and I've printed a bunch of NANFA pamphlets to keep handy whenever I go out collecting in case someone gets curious.

Hey guys, I just joined the site about a week or so ago and am loving it!! It says I am a guest, but I am a member.
Anyways, I discovered you guys from my friend Konrad Schmidt, and from searching the web for info on how to keep native fish in captivity. I currently have a 29 gallon with a Lake Chub, a Hornyhead Chub, a juvenile Common Carp, two White Suckers, and a Tadpole Madtom. Most of my fish care experience has been DIY, as well as from some others, like Konrad. I am also a member of Roughfish.com, which leads to my main passion in the fish universe: which is commonly reffered to as roughfishing, or multispecies fishing. In the Spring and Summer I fish nearly daily, and am always pursuing new species (called a lifelist), while also catching species I have already caught, since I love to fish for all fish
This includes microfishing!! I just ordered some TanagoBum hooks, which I believe are about a #32.
Alright then, I am glad to have joined, and I'll see whoever is going to the convention!!

Welcome Greenwood. I found you and it shows you as a member now! I'm glad you mentioned it. I get notified of new members, and I try to check the forum. But if you join the forum several days after you join NANFA, I may get things out of order and miss you. But not any more... you are "in" now. Glad to hear that you are coming to the convention. Have you registered already? The price is supposed to go up on April 1st (and it may go up a little early since I am not staying up until midnight tomorrow just to upload new prices to the website).
Anyway, glad to see you are here, and look forward to meeting you at the convention!

I meant registered for the convention... you can do that on the main NANFA web site... start at http://www.nanfa.org/ and hit Annual Convention in the left column... then Meeting Announcement under the 2013 bar... then about half way down the page is a Paypal link that will take you to a registration page.

Hello all!
I just found and joined this organization today. I have kept aquariums since preschool, starting with a plastic gumball machine-shaped tank with a single doomed goldfish and migrating through freshwater community tanks and small koi ponds to end up raising corals to pay the bills in a couple hundred gallons of reef tanks. After many trips snorkeling at coral reefs I've only recently realized how much there is to see in midwestern waters, and am planning on making some of my own, so to speak.
I'm looking forward to becoming an active member here. I'd have thought I'd have come across this org in passing at some point in the past, but regardless, I'm here now!

Welcome, to the forum... when you waid "joined" did you just mean here, or did you go over to the main web page www.nanfa.org and actually join NANFA? Either way welcome and I hope you do get engaged. We have some knowledgable members out in Iowa actually.
Snorkeling is where it is at... f you have experience in reefs, then you need to get in the rivers... check it out http://gallery.nanfa...olfe/new river/

Hello all. I just sent payment via PayPal for my membership, and hopefully soon enough my name will show that. I'm a senior in high school with a true love and passion for fish keeping, conservation, and nature in general. I have been "lurking" on the forum for a while learning all sorts of wonderful things. Now, I've joined as a full member. Also, I have the opportunity to begin a research project of native fish through my AP Biology class at school. As a result of this, I'll be going with a biology teacher from school who used to be a US Fish and Wildlife Biologist to a conference at the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium in Dubuque, IA where I'll get to meet many biologists, DNR people, and US Fish and Wildlife people. This has the makings of something I hope to turn into a large scale research and conservation project. I will start a thread within the next few days to explain in further detail. Hopefully all you wonderful people here at NANFA will enjoy learning more about this and sharing any advice and knowledge you have to offer with me. Thanks all!
