You can find these same critters and plants,ahem, weeds, ober most of the South east gulf region.
Mic is often found in fairly rich soil ponds, pools, lakes even, although I have found it doing well in shallow streams with fairly clean sand.
Smart weed is all over, nasty stuff. There's only one semi nice looking, and even them I do not care for it in the genus.
Nasty road side ditches are very good places for most common weeds.
The natural systems are much harder to find the rare plants that we really like Often they come and go in locations.
Sailfins are better than mosquito fish!
All my spots are closed off till spring but I'm going to try and catch some fish next weekend. I have some word on Flagfish locations, so we shall see.
More darters and blue fin shiners! I bred some of these a month ago it seems. I have a couple of other fish I'm not quite sure what they are yet. They are breeding as well.
I only have one non biotope tank.
Is it a biotope if the plant is colected in the location even if the plant is an exotic? Say like Hygrophila polysperma here in FL or Hyacinth? Water lettuce?
Some of the lines cross over, we have at least 2 species of Crypts here in FL growing the wild, but they are not natives.
What is introduced and what is native? Water lettuce is very debateable and one of the favorites for arguing that issue.
There are large pleco's roaming around also.
