Love love love natives. But, like anything you need to do your homework and put in the effort to make it work. I found my natives couldn't deal with year round warm temps in my tanks even unheated... Perhaps a chiller might work.
not true for all natives. most natives found in ohio are also found in south florida like most panfish, LMB, channel, bullhead and flathead catfish so most can live long term in warm, tropical temps.
