oh yes i have a fishing license and i have some things i have caught... and thanks for the info... i am also from the UK.... living in miami floridaisurus:since you're in the tropics this may not be as applicable to you but here in the uk I had far more success with animals from tidepools than those collected by my father diving. Anything that can live in a little tidepool which heats up like crazy in full sun at low tide is tough and good for the aquarium in my view (and this usually includes some highly cool gobies, blennies, scorpions etc) and is easier to catch in the limited space. So my advice is hit the nearest rocky beach rather than the scuba for this purpose and don't collect too much at once or you'll blow the bioload in the aquarium.
(I assume you have looked into and acquired any necessary collecting licenses)
