Re: [APD] haycinth and mosquitofish in Savannah

[Derek Parr <derekparr at earthlink_net>]

for the mosquito fish, check your nearestditch, pond, puddle, or even 
the river...  but I wouldn't to get too close to that..  might get 
irradiated.  ;]    Mosquito fish are everywhere down there, probably 
most prolific fish in that area.

But i don't live there anymore, and wasn't in the hobby when I did, so I 
can't help you with the hyacinth.  If you've called all your local 
gardening stores, and nobody has any, then it may very likely be illegal 
there.  Which it probably should be, a plant like that would spread like 
crazy in that environment.
