Trouble locating sources for fingerlings

[Jake Isaacs]

I am in Nashville, Tennessee and am having a lot of difficulty finding out how to acquire fish fingerlings. I have a small system right now (50 gallon fish tank), so it seems like blue gill might be my best bet. Any advice on how to get the fish?

Jessie: I'm just north of you and there is a fish farm in Bowling Green, Ky. called Whiskers Fish Farm.   He has koi and catfish fingerlings.   I too am raising catfish - but in a 300 gallon tank constantly recycled with spring water.   Fish are on a diet of worms (vermiculture in the cellar) and mealworms.    Email me directly at [e-mail] if you like.  Sandra Placco

Good news,  I found out these folks http://www.fishwagon.com/ will have a truck in my area next Friday with plenty of extras, including the blue gill I'm leaning toward (no advance order or minimum).
