You're in Tennesee? Jackpot! TN has the highest number of fish species in the country, which is around 400. Many of these species are very interesting and highly desirable, and many more are very interesting scientifically. Wherever you are in TN, there are probably 50 species within an hour's drive.

Northern Middle Tennessee, Greenbrier to be exact. My son gave me my gambusia for Mother's day last year. They bred all summer in my pond. He got them from a creek in Sumner County. Have a great week, Shannon
