The thing on the bottom almost looks like a saltwater wolf fish or wolf eel . Whatever they call it. I'm sure there are a million fish that looks like this though

Flint town!
Goby or blenny of some sort I think too.
The striped ones? Juvenile Jack maybe. I commented on the other thread too. So many possibilities......

The long guy looks like a goby to me. Not the greatest picture but looks more like a goby than blenny

The other guy, I think a juvie jack would be a solid guess, but could be many things. I think once it grows an ID will be much easier

I agree the one looks like a Goby, and the others look like cichlids, either young uropthalmus that are common in brackish water from Florida to Texas, or just plain Texas cichlids, Herichthys cyannoguttatus found in the same areas.
It might help if you told us where you caught them (what state, which canal).
