Thanks my friend! Sorry your day isn't going so well. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. If all else fails, go grab a piece of nature to enjoy. I know my editing isn't professional at all- but I want it to feel DYI and just show how the actual day turned out and share that with Y'all.. Cheers!

I love this type of content. I love to see collecting of fish videos. Thanks!

There’s a reason for the saying “nature red of tooth and claw.” Add in what humans do and it’s very rough to be a wild critter. Love the the swamp fish…that darter is a cutie pie.

Red eyed fish is indeed a Warmouth.

The perfect excuse for a Florida trip and a blackwater tank.

I live in Tampa. Can I go on one of these adventures with you? I’m wanting to make a Walstad with Florida native only plants and fish. But it’s tricky doing something like this alone with the potential of a venomous snake or surprising a gator (FL native here. Not “afraid” of them, but just not smart for me to get in those types waters with high vegetation ALONE and isolated 👍 I’m too accident prone to test my luck, and my friends aren’t into getting dirty in nature exploration like I am) Anyway, I wouldn’t hold y’all back. I just love to learn and am a biology nerd and plant nerd since birth. And a tomboy.

Perfectly timed video! Ive been researching Elassoma evergladei to add them to my tannin stained tank that has seiryu stone in it. Couldn't find much info about them in tannin stained water so I'm glad you made this video. Looks like they may be a perfect fish for my tank.

They're a really great choice due to their complex behaviors and beautiful markings

I think the cichlid is an invasive species from South America called an Acara. I could be mistaken though. The aquarium variants can be very colorful Update: i saw you mentioned the same at the end of the video 👍🏾 Also i heard there is a website database with waterways in Florida where you can find aquarium fish. It might be interesting if you have time to check it out

There are some fun fish I'm the UK... Sticklebacks, and medium sized fish ...but Just like seattle...it's pretty limited.

If the water is in fact hard, asa you say, it would be from the calcium carbonate in the lower bed rock. If this is the case, then the water may be closer to pH 6-7 from the dissolved limestone.

May I ask where in Florida you were?
