Hmmmm.....sounds like somebody voted for warm water and lost......

Actually, I hypocratically voted for coldwater... After all, it'd be cool to see a coldwater tank on the forum

I have been reading about cold water systems, and they look like it would be an awesome project to start. But where are you going to get livestock? Collect it yourself or do you know a supplier?

Any LFS worth anything can get coldwater fish. Even ***** has a section.....

Going to collect it. I know what to get and what not to get.

Very cool!! Collecting them yourself will give a pretty deep satisfaction and connection with the tank! Im emotionally attached to a rock i took from a beach in playa del carmel on my honeymoon! (just kidding)

It is cool to have a memory from that week in my tank though!

You just need a fishing license to get the stuff. But I don't need one because I'm 14.
