went out netting

The place I net you catch bluegill, baby bass, thousands of large crayfish, and Mexican tetras. Down the canal a little there is swifter running water and lots of rocks, around the rocks you catch the little striped fish, and they are constantly on the bottom, hard to castnet. I have had my little striped fish for a month, he is going in my 125, when he gets bigger maybe we ID them.
this is on a saltwater sheepshead
Habitat
Primarily occurring inshore around rock pilings, jetties, mangrove roots, and piers as well as in tidal creeks, the euryhaline sheepshead prefers brackish waters. It seeks out warmer spots near spring outlets and river discharges and sometimes enters freshwater during the winter months. This fish moves to offshore areas in later winter and early spring for spawning, which sometimes occurs over artificial reefs and navigation markers. Juveniles live in seagrass flats and over mud bottoms. Recorded among those species that perish during periodic low oxygen fish kills, the sheepshead is not particularly tolerant of low levels of dissolved oxygen.
thats unique i would have to say.
anyone want a freshwater sheepshead?lol

As it gets bigger, mine is a bout 2 inches, the tail is getting red, I am thinking some kind of tilapia
Yep I think that is it, they will turn blue as they mature. Right now it has the spot on top and is turning more grey, it is getting a nice red tail.
I moved him today into my 125, he is in with some texas cichlids, mexican tetras, and clown loaches.
