I don't know many things about Florida, but it would be great to catch southamerican, central american and west african fish in the lake next to my house.
hopefully its good for my pocket soon too :D

Nice collecting grounds you have around there. I see a few natives in your nets that I would not mind "tanking". With that in mind I feel it important to mention that collecting from the wild isen't something to be taken lightly. Many of Florida's fishes are under strain from all the non-natives. Many are protected by law. Collecting fish you cannot ID is always a bad thing. I hope you're up to date on your states laws and regulations. These wild ecosystems are not giant free feeder tanks. With that in mind as well, I hope you QT anything you intend on feeding to your arowana. An arowana is too nice a fish to just kill with some ditch born disease. But don't take offence, I'm just making sure is all. This forum is for learning, you got some nice catches there.

I think I see studfish in there and some madtoms. I'm not picky about what I keep, I have a couple native community tanks.

There is no need to get aggresive. Just because there is enough in the 4 places you collected them does not mean they are common state or country wide. Relax

true but wasnt going to leave them in 4" of water that is drying up and wait on an id i cant seem to get.
For just wanting to ID them you kept an awful lot. True, they are in small ditches but they got there somehow and it's likely they can leave provided there is enough rainfall before it completely drys up. They don't look like anything native to me though. Try posting them in the native forum, someone there might be able to help...again, IF they are native.
