i was just wondering if anyone here goes and catches the stuff they put in their tanks? or do u buy them? i live in florida sooo there are beaches all around me and i am always colecting things and putting them in my tanks...i also do freshwater fish/invertebrates that i catch myself...and breed crayfish and have even bred my blue crayfish once..that were also caught in the wild... i am new to this site since the last fish site i went to was not very happy to hear that i catch these critters from the wild and then put them in my tanks...

I think it's a matter of legality isn't it? ESPECIALLY the saltwater stuff and inverts around the reefs. Also, you have to consider the possibility of rogue diseases.

I harvested a bunch of live sand in the florida keys once.

I have heard a lot of people go to the keys and get their own snails and crabs and what-not.

Whereabouts in Fort Myers do you live? I live in Eagle Ridge, off Daniels Parkway.
