Nice and colorful. Are those fish native to florida (the 1st pic.) or are they an introduced species? I got florida softshells that would fit right in with that pack. Nice tank by the way.

Who did you go about getting this said permit to bring them back legaly?
I went about it by emailing the FWC and then was contacted by phone...you must be specific in your requests as there is no general permit for collecting other than a commercial permit and this doesnot include species that can be posessed dead but not alive-ie tilapia.WckedMidas said:Who did you go about getting this said permit to bring them back legaly?
