I have been searching around this website for months and finnally decided to join. I am a novice fish keeper having only kept Goldfish, African Cichlids, and Tropical fish. I decided my next setup would be a native biotope. Im glad to be a member of this forum.
Greetings from NE Florida

Welcome to the forum
We have a quarterly magazine and a trading dock, too, if you'd like to join NANFA. It's also usually less expensive to register for our annual convention, which next year will be in North Carolina.

If you have any questions about captive care and tank setup feel free to ask them here. I love Florida's fishes. There are some of the most colorful nano-sized fish in the country there. Elassoma gilberti (black and neon blue), heterandria formosa, leptolucana ommata (lemon yellow), etc. Here's an list with some pictures of some of the fish: http://www.flmnh.ufl...gladesfish.html
(lol, I did not know about this one. How funny looking http://www.flmnh.ufl...illifish.html )

Hello and welcome! I'm from Florida, too, although I moved away almost 15 years ago, and have fond memories of collecting both freshwater and saltwater fish while growing up there. I keep two FL biotopes myself: a semi-tidepool saltwater setup with Z. sociatus zoanthids and C. sertularioides macroalgae, for Molly Miller blennies; and another 50G cube planted with E. montevidensis hairgrass and Najas grass--still deciding on the inhabitants for that one. The people here are great--hope you enjoy it.

Adinia xenica (diamond killie) is a great fish. It is a brackish-to-salt water species, however.
