We have the highest number of transplants moving into this state every
day, so all you have to do is become one of them!
I was born and raised here, and I still love it here. Chances are I'll be moving to the PNW someday, after my aging relatives are gone, but for now, I just love it here. How many people can say that about the place they lived in for over 30 years?
Anyway, if people want to start setting up FL native tanks, they better be prepared to invest in some large tanks, because generally speaking, aside from mosquito fish and livebearers, all our fish are HUGE and/or need lots of room! Ever checked out the folks' tanks over at monsterfishkeepers.com? Many of those tanks contain FL native fish.
I would love to have a bluegill tank someday... maybe I'll coincide that project with my future Florida Springs biotope tank...
