Who wants to trade natives?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm going to be going a different direction with my big tank and a couple small tanks so I'm going to have several natives that will need a good home. What I'm looking to rehome are several large longear sunfish, a couple green sunfish, and 2 larger yellow bullheads. I also have several little guys (2-4") that consist of more longear sunnies, a bluegill, a warmouth, greenies, yellow bullheads.....i think that's it. Everybody is eating NLS pellets except for the warmouth. These fish are all free to good homes. I am in Herrin, IL which is about 1.5 hours south of st. louis. I may be keeping a few of these so just PM me on what you may be interested in. Also, the longears and greenies are not farmies or from stocked lakes, so there are some interesting variations there.
 
Still looking for carp around 2-4" if anyone could manage that.
Anyone who finds a 2-4'' carp in the wild will become world-famous in the fisheries world. Carp that size don't exist. Carp just go straight from eggs to 10''+ instantaneously.
 
Zimmerman, dont you have a store online that sell fish? I have Margined Madtoms, Roseyside shiners and a few black banded sunfish. Can get tessellated darters, green side darters, fantail daters and piedmont darters. looking for somthing new and different.
 
Has anyone ever made a trade from this thread? Or has it been a never-ending request thread that no one responds to?

I did a trade with someone a few months ago.

A lot of times I don't have any luck with netting the requested fishes even though I know that they're in my pond. The only exception to that is bluegills, but no one wants bluegills.
 
I may be getting my 1st trade soon. Over here I am not allowed to net anything and we don't have as much variety of fishes as other folks do. So pretty much anything I can breed, that is non-native to CA, is not a gamefish, is not on the restricted list, and is not endangered I can trade. And the fish I send has to agree with the recipients laws too.

It is not the same guy. I thought it was too in the beginning but name and location are different.
 
if someone can get me a 4-5'' redbreast sunfish that would be great. i cant trade fish though, we dont have anything exciting up here in nj except bluegills and largemouth. ill pay though, not over $30
