I'm planning on starting to spawn some stuff, but I want to know what kind of interest people would have in buying in general, or specific species. I can ship.

Sunfish - Dollar, Longear, Bluegill, Green, redbreast, redear.
Possibly, dependent on if I can find both male and female specimens: redspotted, orangespotted, bantam.

Banded Pygmy sunfish (Elassoma zonatum) (can start a colony of these at any time)

Blackspot shiners (already have a spawning group of these), rainbow dace, various Notropis sp.

Mosquitofish(G. affinis - I have a breeding colony of these)
Starhead topminnow, blackspotted topminnow, blackstripe topminnow (I have males/females of all 3, should have babies/eggs soon)
Northern studfish.

Rainbows, orangethroat, greenside darters.

Checkered madtoms

And probably others, but the above are what I know for sure I should be able to get a spawn of going.

If you know of any other Missouri natives you might be interested in feel free to ask.
Shadow bass, crappie, smallmouth/spotted/lmb, and other game fish will be dependent on whether I can get a license/permission, so I won't be suggesting I can offer these for now. I'd like to get some Shadow bass out there but don't assume I'll be able to offer them.
 
Forgot to mention logperch too.
 
Really, no one interested in anything? :\

Maybe I should just put my money into gars and exotics instead then.
 
I wouldn't have a problem shipping to canada if I could figure out the licensing and permissions needed, but I don't know what your laws are on keeping north american native fish, or fish that may be native to your own country (and I think logperch are), or coldwater non-natives that can survive in your climate. If you can figure that out and get back to me I could give you a more definitive answer. :)
 
Im pretty sure Canadians arent allowed north American cold water nativesas they could disrupt our ecosystems. Im not 100% sure on that though ill do abit of reasearch and get back to you

Thanks, I appreciate it. Would be greatly helpful to know for future reference if other ppl are interested.

I wonder if you guys can own aquacultured fish that are shown to not be wildcaught through receipt, but already native to your waterways. I know stuff like longear are native up there, just rare, obviously not allowed to take them from the wild, but I don't see why aquacultured specimens would be illegal. Of course, countries/regions have weird laws, so I dunno.
 
BTW I got some bluespotted sunfish and pygmy sunfish too (mine are the Okefenokee pygmies). I'd be interested in trading these if you want anything.

Also maybe some least killifish. I need to move them cause their population is getting low thanks to some of my sunfish.
