I have the read the sticky about bowfins and gar. Thought it said it was legal to have bowfin in Michigan. I went to my lfs and asked him if he could ever get bowfin in and he told me that you're not allowed to keep them in aquariums in Michigan. I'm curious now. There's a lake not too far from me where when spring hits there's tons of babies. Would love to put one in my 6x2x2 that's arriving in a few weeks time. Probably going to make it a native tank. Any help is appreciated.
