Hi all,

Just a quick introduction! My name is Rich and I'm originally from the UK. I moved to the US (Broward County in Florida) last July.

I have spent most of my life studying fish (both native in the UK and tropical). I plan to study, photograph and keep some of the native fish here.

Anyway, just wanted to say "hello". Great forum you have here.

Rich.

Welcome Rich. Very glad you signed up to the forum. Native fish in Broward county? I didn't know if any were left :tongue:

Sorry for the bad joke in your first post.

octavio -

I kept Perca fluviatilis, Tinca tinca, Carassius carassius, Gobio gobio, Scardinius erythrophthalmus, Gymnocephalus cernuus and Gasterostreus aculeatus among others. I have also kept many non-native (mostly tropical) fish.

BullHeadsrdfish -

I already have some Gambusia and I'm looking for various Sunfish species. I'm pretty much open to whatever I can get that's a reasonable size (nothing too big). I have two ponds in the garden and 3 tanks right now. In any case I aim to photograph any species I catch - whether I keep them or not.

Thanks all for the replies!

Rich.

Rich, I used to read Aquarist and Pondkeeper, and had some correspondence with John Dawes and his wife Vivian, who were both great people to work with. I am sorry to see that the magazine is no longer published.

Yes I remember Aquarist and Pondkeeper very well. John and Vivian are very well respected people. I don't know whether Practical Fishkeeping and TFH magazines were a factor in Aquarist and Pondkeeper not being published anymore. Either way, sad to see it go. I have good memories of reading that magazine years ago.

Rich.
