Hi Steven:

You should get Lucania goodei, Gambusia affinis, Elassoma evergladei,
Fundulus chrysotus, perhaps a Madtom or two, Heterandia formosus, the Swamp
Darter Etheostoma fusiforme, Poecilia ladipinna - Green Sailfin mollies with
real sailfins, often edged in orange; Jordanella floridae, the Longear
Sunfish Lepomis megalotis, and the occassional Albino Claris walking
catfish. Depending on the location, you may also see Fundulus lineolatus
and delicate Shiners that often die rather quickly after being taken.

The next time you are in the area, give a call. There is a dedicated group
of collectors here, and we may be able to hook you up with someone to show
you around.
