<p>I went out to see Michael at Stick Fins Fish Farm where he sells <strong>Australian Red Claw Crawfish</strong> (freshwater lobster). He is a heck of a nice guy and took the time to show us all around his farm. His wife handles all of the phone calls but she isn't able to check voicemail until after lunch. Great people!</p>
<p>He also has some beautiful Koi that I believe are for sale. Not sure of the name of them but they have the long fins and were quite colorful.</p>

<p>GREAT tilapia experience:</p>
<p>I've got a fantastic tilapia supplier in Desert Hot Springs:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Blue Beyond Fisheries.</p>
<p>(760) 275-0762</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He's got a HUGE hatchery and excellent prices. He spent about an hour giving me a tour of the facility and answering all my questions. He supplies tilapia to restaurants, so his stock is clean and happy and well taken care of.</p>

<p>(Though I'll probably be checking in with anyone around Central FL who wants to go in on a joint order after we gets past the worst of the cold, I could quarantine a batch of fish in my expanded 300 gallon system and share them out to people after a quarantine period since I know most people don't have a good means of quarantine.)</p> Good Folks!
