Whats the best Native U.S fish??

You are? Lol, that's always good to hear 8D, I just got mine from the local fish shop, I don't know how you'd go about getting Australian natives in America. Here's my natives 8D

Sorry mate, but you will not find any American natives here. Only the sailfin mollys, swordtails and texas cichlids...

I would love to own a black crappie and a few sunfish myself. But, unfortunatly, both are ILLEGAL

 

[dingoofus]

So I got 3 options? lol. Unless I include the whole continent of America?

I think our mosquitofish (Gambusia) have been introduced down there. They're hateful little things though, not suited to community tanks. Swordtails are not US natives, they're Central American.

gets a bunch don't focus on one species, in my 5-6' 120g tank i have a Small Mouth Bass and I'm trying to get a black crappie, perch, large mouth bass that's it, I've always hated sunfish/pumpkin-seed and those sort of pan fish so none of those guys.

and i don't think you'd be able to get NA native fish in Australia with the whole importation/exportation of wildlife to/from certain countries.

A wise man once said if its illegal its probly fun

 

[dingoofus]

There is always the last option, get a heap of fish and pretend they are native to the U.S 8D
