Be careful.

Did you see this thread?

Warrants issued for "Free Fish" guy...

You are far enough south for successful coppernose bluegill. They are bluegill -- just slightly different from what we have further north! They look slight different, and they grow faster than their northern cousins when in the south. They should be in 50/50 - male/female. They should be pure-strain.

I'd stay away from this dealer.

Being where you are, I'd recommend contacting Bob Lusk at Pond Boss headquarters for reputable dealers in your area.
