Florida Fish Farms in Center Hill Sells channel catfish and bluegill fingerlings among other types of fish. they do have minimum orders though so might only be worth it if you have a BIG system.
If you want small quantities, I can sell channel catfish, bluegill and mosquito fish but I do not have facilities to bag them in oxygen so you must bring your own transport container and travel aerator.
My Farm is in Yalaha, FL I can only take cash or check on site but we could do something with paypal ahead of time if you wish to pay by credit card.

Back when I was a teen in Orlandoa friend lived on Lake La Grange and would anchor a one foot or so square wood board on shore with most of it floating in the water. He did this in early spring and hundreds of fingerling black bullhead cats would hide under it. That is one way to get catfish fingerlings

This was us on Saturday night with the lights on........outside temp was 28*, inside was around 50*...the 2000 or so gallon half buried fish tank worked great as a heat sink to stabilize the temps. No extra heat source other than the twinkle lights was used.

Northeast Florida free hottubs for tanks. I have 2 that I found for expansion of my system but might be moving soon. I have one in use right now that might be available in the future. One 2 person/deep(4x6) and a 4 person 6x6. Location is Middleburg FL

It's 29 at my farm in Clermont right now... Everything's been iced over outside since 11 so it's going to be a pretty bad night for plants around here.

Depending on which site you check the low tonight in Ocala will be between 27 and 34 degrees. It is currently 37.3 so maybe it will not get below 30. We are ready though, we have lit a few candles to see if they will add a degree or two to our inside temperature. Here is a picture, consider it a "Christmas luminary."

Yea, the wind has done more damage to the plants here than the cold did I think. I'm not covering anything through, I need to see how bad a hard freeze is going to affect the new farm before I go nuts.

We got down to about 32 degrees here in Ocala last night and are forecast for a low of 28 tonight. We had fun wrapping up the grow beds yesterday afternoon because it was very breezy but we finally got it done although not the prettiest outcome.
