I'd love to do just that, but think it's outside of my budget.

I would love to go on a Malaysian/South American trip to collect fish...but that's not going to happen in the foreseeable future

.

I went to Costa Rica on a school trip and saw some wild aquarium fish/shrimp/snails, and it was amazing

I've been to Zambia, and I saw Victoria falls, I caught a couple tadpoles (let them go) and some something that looked like a pleco swim right past my feet. I have always wanted to go fish collecting, I want to go try it in the Amazon someday.

I've also been to the Dominican republic

. Didn't know much about inverts then, but I saw and caught loads of HUGE crabs in the brackish pools in the forest next to the resort, and also loads of livebearers. At that time I didn't have a digital camera, and all my film pics of the animals came back out of focus, so I don't know the species

. Memories are still there though. A point police officer with a shotgun told me to leave the forest at one point, which scared the crap out of me lol, the resort said they were there to stop people getting into the resort and selling things . The resort was pretty crap overall, the beaches were really poor for snorkelling too, they had pretty much destroyed the coastal area around there putting up barriers to stop big waves hitting the beach so people could kayak.
