Anybody know of any marine forum?

15 years ago

Does anybody know of any marine aquarium forums on this site, and about any tropical marine collecting forums on any website. I am planning on moving to the south Texas coast this summer, and I want to have a 40 or 75 gal. native Gulf tank with local tropical marines such as a French or blue angel, and a spotfin or foureyed butterflyfish. I would like some info on collecting them along the jetties at South Padre Island and Port Aransas, such as best techniques, time of day, etc.

Thanks,

John

NANFA will likely be your best bet.
Especially as you want natives.
Quite a few members live in that area and
should be able to answer most of your questions.

Here is a link that might be useful: NANFA Forum - North American Native Fishes Association

While you are in Port Aransas, travel 11 miles north on 35 to Rockport. There is a nice but small native life aquarium at the Rockport Marina. Port Aransas also has the University of Texas Marine Science Institute which will probably also be useful.
