8:04 Possibly a Swordtail/Platy hybrid, both are of genus Xiphophorus and regularly hybridise in captivity, so if they are in the same body of water, they are likely hybridising.
Thanks for the video. I was fortunate enough to catch the platys, convict cichlids and a couple of green swordtails from that creek back in Nov 23. Good luck if you get back up that way.
@TheFishingNomad I know the feeling. I have a couple of friends that catch a bunch of grass pickerel from this one river every time they go. I have fished it a couple of times and still haven't caught one🤔.
Very cool, i had no idea you could fish for those little guys. Little tip, if you go downstream a bit to the other park you'll see even more in a more open area.
I use to catch these and many many more out of a canals in Miami. Caught sword fish, black mollies, marbled mollies, u name it. One yr. I caught two red belly piranha.
lmao. I used to walk down there with my grandpa... we called it The Creek.. people dumped so many fish over the years.. its a city park named after a teacher.
Thank you very much for your channel. It is refreshing. I am a fisher man but more important I keep fish with more than 30 fish tanks in my house. Therefore, understanding our local river life is priceless. You cannot realize the price and rarity to find rainbow shiners available in aquarium store. This is one fish I am dying to get and reproduce. More rare is the pygmy sunfish. Were you able to locate them in specific area , specifically Alabama and Florida panhandle?
Are you asking about rainbow shiners or pygmy sunfish? I was able to find rainbow shiners, but not pygmy sunfish. I know of a spot for pygmy sunfish that you can probably easily catch one in a net, but I was never able to catch one on hook and line.
Good point. I'll put that on the list of videos to make. If you want, check the description of the video. I always have links in there to the gear that I use.
They are all over Florida, I'm in Swfl and have them in most waters down here. I'd say look for small bodies of water and you should have some luck. There's a saying for Florida, if the waters wet fish it lol.
They sell feeder patties in a casselberry , and how about the dummies that dumped a planted tank in the huge lake in Kissimmee overtaking the entire lake with some invasive plant

Maybe.

Thanks. Seems like everyone has caught green swordtails out of there expect me lol

4:18 Convict cichlid (Amatitlania nigrofasciata) are native to North America (Central America).
You're right.
Very cool, i had no idea you could fish for those little guys. Little tip, if you go downstream a bit to the other park you'll see even more in a more open area.
Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.
Thanks for the videos over the last year 🎣🎣👍
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed them.

Nice. Depending on where you go in Florida, you never know what you're going to catch sometimes.
lmao. I used to walk down there with my grandpa... we called it The Creek.. people dumped so many fish over the years.. its a city park named after a teacher.
Yup. Obviously these aren't native. They're aquarium releases that became established.
Swordtails @05:34 (orange / red wag type)
Yup. I know they're in there, but I've just never been able to catch one.
@TheFishingNomad What park is in? I live in the area.

Dang! What size hook did you use? I initially thought you were going to use a net.
Tango hook. Link to them is in the description if you want to check them out.
What's the tackel you use, rod, line,Japanese hooks?maybe doe video on tackel you use.

That little cichlid actually looked like a Pygmy sunfish.
I suppose maybe a bit.
You need a bug suit and a gallon of deet for that spot. 😂
Haha definetly true.
I have lived in Orlando my whole life and do no know I can catch these kinds of fish! What location did you fish at so I can catch some of my own?
They are all over Florida, I'm in Swfl and have them in most waters down here. I'd say look for small bodies of water and you should have some luck. There's a saying for Florida, if the waters wet fish it lol.
for 5 fish....2 male and 3 females, id pay near $50 for wild caught fish from a net. Especially the green swords if they are Montezumas
Where are you located?
where is the location of that creek?
They sell feeder patties in a casselberry , and how about the dummies that dumped a planted tank in the huge lake in Kissimmee overtaking the entire lake with some invasive plant
Yeah, while it's fun to catch these non-native species, I do wish humans didn't transplant wildlife like this.
Can you tell me were this creek is at. I live in St Cloud and would like to catch some for my pond.
