Sup everyone. Name is Geoff and i hail from the dreadfully wonderful St. Louis ( ha! ) Not by any means to fish or natives. Had fish since i was about..oh 3..maybe 4..almost 24 now. So i have a good 20 years under my belt. A good 8 of so of those years were spent with native fish. I've had all sorts of stuff. darters, sunfish of all types,crappie, largemouth bass ( stupid fish for a tank ), rock bass, channel cat, bullhead etc etc etc. the past couple years i have been mainly focused on wild discus ( heckels, browns, blues ) however in my main tank im down to only a discus and a couple other odds and ends. so i think come spring time im going to switch back over to natives again. wanted to go some rainbow trout however i think that idea is fleating from me due to conditions given for proper care of them. seems to be more a battle then what it will be worth. Once i get back into it expect lots of pictures, i am quiet a photographer and fish are one of my favorite things to photographer. So be ready to be entertained y'all

Welcome!

Hey there! I hail from the mighty Columbia! About two hours west of St. Louis! Great times. You should swing up this way some time and we'll hit the LFS. I'm more focused on the rare SA/CA cichlids, as well as catfish, but natives always have a place in my heart. Especially bowfin!

cool. my buddy lives in columbia and works for the conservation department collecting animals and such...he's a lucky guy. i'm gonna have to pay a visit to him sometime this spring when its warm and i get this tank going native again

Missouri is starting to take on some mass. I am in Jefferson City, about 30 minutes south of Columbia.
