One thing that sucks with the goby is that people who catch them in Michigan at times are afraid to kill them, or don't know how and let them go back into the water...

Oh it is crappy.. when I was there it was rather bad and the damn Bullhead where all over.. not surprising however as they where introduced much like carp in the US.(intentional and not intentional). I. melas however is likely the true species that has been spreading and I. nebulosus remains not so aggressive in doing so. Both can be found in Serbia..
. Its a sad thing that you actually think its a GOOD thing. Infact its TERRIBLE!
Dude I caught one of those bowfish about a month ago and i re-released it, didn't know.
BOWFIN ARE NATIVE TO WISCONSIN!
Bowfin are not like snakeheads in the fact that they actually belong in certain parts (many parts) of the US.
If you took the fish home and then let it go after a while...that was bad. Shame on you, but at least you can learn from that mistake.
weather loaches shouldn't be harmful at all. They just eat decaying plant matter and hide under leaves and silt. Oh and if you want to catch one find a calm body of water/ stream with a lot of dead leaves, water plant mats and sediment on the banks(combination gravel,mud, sand bottom is ideal). Take a large scoop net and scrape threw it. The biggest one i've caught was like 9 1/2" inches, but they mite grow bigger in hawaii due to climate.
It should be shallow water, no more than shin deep, and if its only ankle deep or less thats even better. But if you havent got any after 2 or 3 big scoops they probably arent there.
