Where to get certain natives?

[aaron7353]

Hello MFK members!
I'm looking to start a 75 gallon natives tank. Right now, I'm looking at different sunfish and such. I would like to know where people have purchased yellow perch online. I've been to Zimmermans and plan to get some various sunfish and eventually pickerel from him, but I'd also like to find a yellow perch. I can probably go out and catch one, but I'd like to find a place online and save the process of finding a small young one in the wild. Any ideas?

Also, does anyone have experience minnow trapping for various fish including sunfish in Iowa or Illinois? Any input is wonderful.

if you watch the ads on these pages, an ad comes up for yellow perch. that's pretty much the only place I've seen. I think I've seen them on aquabid once or twice. or maybe they were pirate perch...

Unfortunately none of them at this time are selling Yellow or Redfinned Perch at this time. Aquabid and
http://www.smithcreekfishfarm.com/c-9-native-aquarium-fish.aspx do currently have them for sale.
