Your best bet would be to get onto the NANFA email list (North American Native
Fishes Association), details can be found at www.nanfa.org. You will find
those folks most helpful and full of suggestions! If you are interested in
North American natives you should most definately join the club too, it's not
very expensive and has a fantastic quarterly magazine.
