Hello my name is Dustin Triplett and I am a student
at CART, which is a tech school in Clovis, California.
I am building a pond that is supposed to have native
fish and I was wondering if it's legal to put native
fish in my pond, and if so what kinds and how can I
get them? I'm building the pond for an action project
for class on campus and I'm hoping to get all the
items needed donated including fish so any information
would be very helpful.

Please e-mail me at 3trip_at_msn.com
