HE CAUGHT A POISONOUS CATFISH IN HIS DIPNET!!! kzread.info/dash/bejne/opOZk9lmpdTZY6Q.html

venomous* but yeah. The venom is closer to a honeybee than, say, a rattlesnake, so I wouldn't get too worried about it. Getting stung sucks but for most people there's no risk of any serious harm.

The catfish you weren’t sure about that was in the specimen container is probably a baby channel or a type of bulldog catfish.

The catfish babies look like bullhead cats. The “scary “ bug😄 was probably a dragonfly larvae. Love the ditch fishing videos!

I looked these up a few years ago. They're called "killifish" and like mollie's and guppies there are several varieties.They like thick patches of aquatic vegetation like hydrilla or peppergrass that I often scoop up with my net.

Love the swamp darker, bluefin, and madtoms.

Nice Bullhead Catfish.

Those look like maybe Bullheads

You can get native little fish all over the US if you don't mind doing some research and quite a few unsuccessful attempts (that is, go to whatever slow-moving creek and take your chances). That said, minnows can get kinda big. Gambusia are all along the SE coast and Gulf coast, and they're great! They seem to domesticate pretty well and have cute personalities.

It always looks like so much fun to go out and see what you can catch. Some cool fish there.

Darters are beautiful and diverse freshwater natives. Have no idea why they aren’t popular in the American aquarium community other than that they’re native. I’m in Kentucky and there are seemingly dozens of species that look like multicolored gems occurring in Ohio river tributary watersheds.

Is this legal? I'm interested.

I have a 75 gallon planted tank that I started tinkering with around 18 months ago. Im more interested in growing beautiful plants rather than blowing money on colorful fish. I took a trip to the local creek around the 6 month mark and caught a bucket full of these killifish. They've really helped my planted system and they remind me of swimming dogs. Lots of personality and always active. They almost never use bottom 1/3 of the water column. They are jumpers and so a fully enclosed lid is a must have. I really like these fish because they don't root up my plants and easy to find

I love and miss these videos ❤️❤️

Catfish looks exactly like Hank, my brown bullhead. I do aquatic weed removal and they get pulled up in the weeds occasionally so I started a tank for my wild caught fish. I have him and a Eastern Black Nosed Dace as well as some fry that may get eaten lol.

I know that this was on in October but I think that the black catfish that you guys caught is a hornpout or bullhead catfish.

One love.

The madtom catfish aren't poisonous, they're venomous. Unlike the typical bullheads, flatheads, channels and blue catfish, they have venom sacs at the base of their stiff spines that deliver venom when you are spined by them. Currently I have native Ohio brindled madtoms in my tank with rainbow and banded darters, spotfin shiners and blunt nose minnows. The biggest problems you have from being spined by catfish is bacterial infection.

I'd go with Bullhead also

Looks like a baby bullhead catfish

this is freaking awesome. Gotta appreciate the small species and their colors. btw that catfish looks like a bullhead catfish. not sure what species, you would have to look at the chin whisker colors. as for the bugs, I saw a leech and dragonfly and damsel fly nymphs

The small unidentified catfish appears to be a baby Brown Bullhead Catfish (Ameiurus nebulosus) I have collected many in my day in both upstate NY and Pennsylvania.

This is cool. I'm in SC, wonder what I could catch..?

I think that those little black catfish are either black madtoms or baby bullheads

Used to work at a pet shop where we got a lot of feeder ghost shrimp and those little cat fish would occasionally come in with them. I raised one to about 6 or so inches. Really entertaining fish, but they can get massive.

I think what you i.d.'d as bluefin killifish are actually bluntnose minnows. But I could be wrong.

Yes, in Florida you need a standard fishing license. These species are considered least concern and non-Gamefish so they’re not regulated too heavy but still check with local laws and regulations where you live

Florida seems to have a lot of exotic species in its waterways. I guess people just dump them and they turn out to be the next invasive species. It's also got exotic lizards and snakes. I watched a tv program about Burmese Pythons and the problems they are causing. Scary stuff.
