So I watched this video about an hour ago and decided to go netting on my canal next to the house. Within 45 minutes I caught 3 of these same sirens. Really made my day. Getting them acclimated to my 55 gallon as I'm typing this.
So cool to see many wild fish species I grew up catching in ponds and ditches. The Kilifish was one of my faves as they thrive in grassy/algae laid areas. We have a small pond behind our rental loaded with Gambusia, Blue Gill, and Bass. May create a small aqua bowl (self-cycled) and try it with Gambusia or Kilifish from the pond behind us. Thx for sharing and enjoy!!
I'm mostly subbed to gaming channels but recently I decided to get back into my childhood hobby of fish keeping. I think you're gonna be my first sub in this genre. Seem like a real dope dude.
That is a siren larvae, i used to breed those guys. super Rare during the day,can eat anything you put in the tank, super cool find dude! Love your videos! And your shop
3:48 In Trinidad we call that fish a Coscarob (Blue Acara). They are found in almost all rivers, ponds, and streams here. I caught two using a fishing rod and kept them in an aquarium. They are truly amazing fishes to keep. The first one I caught was extremely skittish and never ate, but warmed up to me and started following me around whenever I was near the tank. The second one was extremely fascinating. Both fishes were silver when I caught them with a single black spot close to their tails, but I noticed that the pattern on them would change to stripes, then return. Most impressive however was that the second Coscarob turn black with deep stripes and started flaring its fins, all of them. He then got super aggressive and kept fighting with the other fishes in the tank. Once he had transitioned to Dark Mode, he never changed back.
That’s a bullhead catfish. Probably a black bullhead or a brown bullhead. It’s not a madtom. Bullheads can get big, and they’re very predatory. They have big mouths-great for inhaling smaller fish whole.
Good to see the comments from people who also police an area for trash. Sometimes it feels like we’re the only ones. My son and I camped a lot and that was the first thing we always did. We called it setting up our garbage bag.
I love knowing someone else out there is just like me! I'm in a more densely populated area of Florida, Pinellas County. I recently used the litter I found walking down by the water as an excuse to what I was doing around a small body of water in a subdivision! 😄 Sometimes I feel like it's seriously too much of an addiction! LOL I have to see what's going on over in that water!! I caught two AMAZING male Sailfins a few days ago! Got them in quarantine, along with myself 😆 its a WOOPER!!! lol 🤣👍 it's freaking awesome!!
Nice finds! Male sailfins are always so elusive. I haven’t had luck acclimating adult ones, I have two in my 55 now but grew them out from juvies. Good luck with them and Stay safe!
Great video love doing this with my children I the summer always catch and release in the past with us we caught a baby axolotl just got me a 300lt tank and will be taking the kids down to the local pond for some catches
You remind me of myself...except I am from Canada (less biodiversity!). My whole life I always dreamed of living somewhere like Florida, just for the critters! I feel you I geek out bigtime watching this type of video cause I can't get in that water myself. God bless.
There's fertile ponds nearby that hold lots of ghost shrimp that I use to feed my baby sunfish that I net caught. Feed him shrimp and invasive cut fish (blue tilapia/mayan cichlids/brown hoplo) catch big ones on fly rod or net catch smaller ones that he eats cut.
I just found your channel and can tell in he first few minutes I’ll love it. I’m a strong believer in leaving natural environments cleaner than how you find them. I also enjoy doing exactly what you are doing up here in Pennsylvania. Been netting fish and critters as long as I can remember. At 3:20 is for sure a blue gill but the next looks to be an invasive maybe a convict cichlids.
This was the first time that I have seen any of your videos. I really enjoyed watching you and your upbeat personality. I look forward to to seeing more of your videos. Keep up the great work.
Man with how often “snake discovery” is in Florida i really think it would be awesome if you guys did a group video. They also have a lice if freshwater fish and do a lot if talking about the invasive animals in Florida. Lots of turtles and bugs in addition to all the lizards and frogs and they all gotta eat. I bet there is a ton of crossover in the two hobbies. They have done goldfish netting before too :)
Man mad respect for cleaning up the trash. I hate when I see people use public or private land and not only leave there trash do nothing to improve it. I was always raised to leave a place better than you found it. Glad someone is putting it out there.
When I was a kid we would use a heavy tine take and just throw the rake all the way out and pull all the weeds in and look through them and catch all kinds of fish and turtles crayfish . Works better than the net.
That siren was cool. I’ve kept newts, salamanders, and frogs before but never seen a siren. Been wanting to do a tank of least killifish at some point. Nice vid. Looks like fun. Stay safe.
where i am in Colorado you find those salamanders in the mountains and they get big , one snatched a piece of bread from around our camp fire , no joke
i always clean up the area i am fishing in. i wish more people followed the leave it better then you found it way of thinking. it never fails that i always find fishing line and trash every where i go. strange how people can bring the crap in with them but can never seem able to take it back out with them. when ever i taught kids fishing or outdoorsmenship i always told them never leave anything behind that you brought in and leave the place better by cleaning up what you can and if you could not report it so it can be done. thank you for spreading that message and doing your part
Last week I got hair grass, Monty carlo and 10 mosquitofish. This week ima setup a tank with duckweed and maybe make a cast net. Hope everyone is okay.
That was quite an adventure. i am inspired to do something similar here. i very nice way of spending a lockdown. No stress. How do you keep your water so clean, do you change it regularly. how regular do you change it and how to you grow wild fish. how do you know what they eat and how they bread etc etc. Great hobby. i bread catfish as a business, but i am inspired by your activity to add ornamental fish. B regards Mulamata
I've caught a full grown siren before in a ditch next to my old place, they have like a parrot beak and feed on worms and shrimp, I love your videos, because it's something I do myself from time to time, amazing work as always!
As soon as i saw you going through your net it was an Instant subscribe from me. I'm 47 and have netted my local waterways for 37 years. I've now bought extra ponds to keeps some of the water bugs I find.
That's a siren, may be a reticulated siren, the bottom of them are known to have a similar dotted pattern. You should push an update when it colors up.
Those plants are native to Florida it's called watershield it's a type of pond lilies. 👍 it's the water hyacinth that's the big problem. Stay safe I really enjoyed video.
I really enjoy looking at you videos. I am a fish keeper and things that i think of doing you are actually doing. You really inspire me. Thanks for your videos.
Those pads are native and if you look in Florida edibles they sell at state parks they can be made edible, I work out in the glades and they are EVERYWHERE, I believe Nymphaea odorata.
It is a Siren ... I raised one I caught ... Had him for years ... He would get out of the tank and walk around my house. They LOVE earthworms and suck them down ... Mine was name Kirby ( like the Kirby vacuum cleaner because of the way he would suck his food down ) They are VERY sensitive to ammonia burn so be sure to keep tank clean... I never had mine eat any of my fish. He was about 2 feet long and I kept him in a 75 gallon. I would LOVE to have another one if you know where I could get one !
That is indeed a Black Acara, I find them mostly in small lakes, ponds, and slow moving creeks. They do have established breeding colonies all over Florida, recognized as an established invasive as far as I know. As usual loving the content and glad to have met you at the Tampa auction.
Thanks for the info Shane! Crazy how Mia you species there are, native and invasive. It was great meeting you also, hopefully everything is back to normal in time for this falls auction
@FreeRoamFantasy No problem! Hardy fish that has a good bit of personality. I have found them anywhere from penny sized up to about 5-6". Usually along the shores of creeks and ponds. Dense vegetation along the shore is usually where I catch them. You can find a lot of smaller ones in the flooded grasses in the rainy season.
i kept a wild caught water siren for a couple of years caught in n.c. he was 20 inches or so, and was not at all difficult to keep. i eventualy released him back to the wild as i do all my native captures.
If you're ever in Tampa, I would love to go out collecting! Second thing - what net are you using, looks solid and I'm curious where you bought it. Thanks!
I Want to go. I heard there are places u can go collecting in mid florida where there are many different aquarium fish you can collect. I think your coming to AAAA Atkanta area aquarium association next week. Cant wait. Rudy
I salute your positive heart but I wouldn't pick up random trash in my bare hands these days especially. Stay safe, and thanks for making something for us to watch.
puirYorick that’s a good point. Luckily there wasn’t a ton, I noticed some after filming first clip and wanted to make sure I picked it up. Agree with you 100% I was a knuckle head for not wearing gloves!!
Really enjoying the video. I want to shoot an underwater video feeding panfish soon. This really has me motivated. We keep a native fish tank in our living room just so we can experience all that nature has to offer even locally.
Well its definitely a type of Salamander. They are called 'axolotl' - they can grow to as long as 23cm. SInce you took it home I hope you're prepared to look after it correctly. They are an endangered species. They are carnivorous, so if you put them in a tank with smaller fish when they get bigger, They will eat the fish.
Need to see flowers to see which species (or hybrid), but Nymphea odorata (the American white water lily) is found just about everywhere, including Florida. But certainly there are introduced species and also hybrids that have naturalized.
@@WildFishTanks The subreddit /r/whatsthisplant is very good at identifying various plants. Location + good pictures (flowers, leaves, and- if a tree- the bark) go a long way towards getting a positive ID.
I did not know how much cool fish are in Florida!! Also idk if anyone already answered the question about the lily like plants in the lake, but to me it looks like the american lotus or nelumbo lutea👌
That's awesome. I grew up on long island and my fair share of scooping and digging around. Had no idea what a madtom was until last year when I caught one though haha, have two now ruclips.net/video/p_e1w-uqs3A/видео.html
Love the wild collecting videos! I'm in WA state so too cold for any tropical invasive s to bring home. I need to take a Florida vacation just to poke around in your lakes and ponds. Not interested in Disney, just give me bucket and a net!
That really Kool first video I've seen of yours but to have access to do what you doing is the best I'm in the process of doing the same thing I have a few tanks just getting back into things after I have moved saltwater tanks Coral's and all was my thing about 11 years ago I now have more space hence the few tanks I have I'm doing mostly cichlids now but I also want to do a tank with just native species from the lake around me love to hit those lakes and waterways around you some time in future
Me: scours internet for hours to find unusual fish Ryan: walks outside with a net This was a lot of fun! That molly was beautiful. As were the other fish. I’m telecommuting; so more feedings (for the fish), more water changes, and more time in front of the tanks.
Catching Wild INVASIVE Fish In Florida! ruclips.net/video/43e20Ao6tPY/видео.html
I hit the thumbs up as soon as I saw you pick up the trash from the area! Looks like alot of fun fishing there!
LRB Aquatics - Natural Aquarium Keeping Adventures thanks, Maybe the siren is something for Hayley to try her hand at breeding eventually
same^^
So I watched this video about an hour ago and decided to go netting on my canal next to the house. Within 45 minutes I caught 3 of these same sirens. Really made my day. Getting them acclimated to my 55 gallon as I'm typing this.
So cool to see many wild fish species I grew up catching in ponds and ditches. The Kilifish was one of my faves as they thrive in grassy/algae laid areas. We have a small pond behind our rental loaded with Gambusia, Blue Gill, and Bass. May create a small aqua bowl (self-cycled) and try it with Gambusia or Kilifish from the pond behind us. Thx for sharing and enjoy!!
+1 for picking up trash.
A habit i generated some years back, if we all did it our environment would be much improved.
Ohmygosh! So true!
I'm mostly subbed to gaming channels but recently I decided to get back into my childhood hobby of fish keeping. I think you're gonna be my first sub in this genre. Seem like a real dope dude.
Check out "Aquarium co-op", "MD Fishtanks" and "The Secret History Living In Your Aquarium"
That is a siren larvae, i used to breed those guys. super Rare during the day,can eat anything you put in the tank, super cool find dude! Love your videos!
And your shop
Exactly 2 years later I found this video, thank you for putting out so much info on finding wild fish!

That’s a bullhead catfish. Probably a black bullhead or a brown bullhead. It’s not a madtom. Bullheads can get big, and they’re very predatory. They have big mouths-great for inhaling smaller fish whole.
Good to see the comments from people who also police an area for trash. Sometimes it feels like we’re the only ones. My son and I camped a lot and that was the first thing we always did. We called it setting up our garbage bag.
Its a siren salamander. Texas jungle has a few in his aquarium, but i think those are a different kind.
Yea I think you’re right, not sure if its a greater siren or lesser siren
Lesser Siren to be exact!! We have one just about 3 inches! They can reach up to 2 feet!
How do they life? What do they eat? How bug to they get?
First few seconds...catching sailfin molly in the wild. That is my favorite fish as a kid. Instant subscribe. Love seeing these fish in the wild.
"CRAZY and FLORIDA MAN" in the same title. I knew shit was gonna be wild lol

Man, that is the smallest siren I have ever seen! I had two when I was kid living in South Texas, but they were both huge! Great video, man!
Wow! Can't wait to try this next time I visit family in South Florida! Thanks for sharing!

Last week I got hair grass, Monty carlo and 10 mosquitofish. This week ima setup a tank with duckweed and maybe make a cast net. Hope everyone is okay.
Something I've noticed about gambusia is they can sort of change their colour from pale light brown to a much darker brown
Just found your channel... LOVE IT! I'll be binging it for the next few days! :)

The water lilly, if the flowers are yellow, are nymphea mexicana, native to Florida. Hard to say without flowers which will come later in the year.
Yes plz sell them little killi fishes. I would love to added them to a nano tank.
That was really friggen cool. Thanks for sharing

Lilly pads are native. White american lilly. There is also. Yellow flower one called a cow lilly.
I’ve always called them mudpuppies where I’m from and I normally catch them in my minnow traps in my ponds but they are normally about 6in long
I spend a lot of time on the Winter Park chain. I am curious what might be caught dip netting, there is a ton of vegetation
Nice videi man,hello from Croatia🇭🇷🇭🇷
So exciting. That is a baby greater siren!!! Rare
Sweet fish scooping adventure, you found some beauties for sure..
Yea I’m glad I got out

Great video In the last lake in your video I Caught some jewel cichlids I put them in my fish pond
The Acara Cichlid is one of the only native Cichlids in Florida and are getting pushed out by the more aggressive Mayans and Red Devils and tilapia
Nope..acara are a South American invasive species..they have just been here for a long time.
Thanks for sharing your fun collecting trip!
Appreciate you checking it out Dan, thanks for coming along
Wow. Awesome. And thanks for picking up the trash, that was cool. :)
I enjoy going on the fish collecting trips with you. Thank you.
Appreciate you coming along Marty
I wonder if that cichlid might be Cichlasoma dimerus. They have established themselves all over Florida.
I Want to go. I heard there are places u can go collecting in mid florida where there are many different aquarium fish you can collect. I think your coming to AAAA Atkanta area aquarium association next week. Cant wait.

Really glad I stumbled upon this! I've been doing this same thing but in Wisconsin the past 25 yrs or better.
Get those things up for sale. Wild catch
I used to catch similar salamanders all the time as a kid in creeks in Atlanta. They had four legs, tho. Probably mudpuppies.

Thanks David, welcome!
New subscriber , you had me with the hillstream loach video 🐟
I did not know how much cool fish are in Florida!! Also idk if anyone already answered the question about the lily like plants in the lake, but to me it looks like the american lotus or nelumbo lutea👌
Where is the update on the catch......has it grown up? Did it die? Really nice to have a follow up video 😃
Those Plant are Lotus Plant, They Grow a very beautiful Flower.
Damn, you are so lucky to live somewhere where you can just go get free fish.
I know it is 3 years old video.
you found an Axolotl.
Please make some more videos :)
In my country we call the black acara, black cuscarub and they grows pretty large and grate aquarium fish and they taste good to.
Inspiring! Congrats from Bolivia
Very cool. I grew up scooping in New Jersey for madtoms and mudpuppies mostly. Stay safe👊🏾

Love the wild collecting videos! I'm in WA state so too cold for any tropical invasive s to bring home. I need to take a Florida vacation just to poke around in your lakes and ponds. Not interested in Disney, just give me bucket and a net!
Bro, I'm loving these vids. Its been tough the last week. Its nice to see this and not about what's going with all the BS of the nations issue.
that’s part of the reason I needed to get outside and get my mind off stuff. Staying safe but doubling down on what I love
I wish it was warm enough to collect here!!!! I'M JELLY!!! Great video Ryan, as usual it was a fun watch!
Thanks Don! Hopefully it warms up soon for you, would love to see more poor mans Peru haha
Sub’d to you! Didn’t take long! Your videos are awesome bro!!
I’d love to buy some of those Least Killis!!
Awesome. I think they are one of the ones I’ll try to offer first
Enjoying the content.. new to the game myself..
Beautiful species and education
Bless y'all
Welcome!
The lilypads at 1:40 are Spadderdock.
iNaturalist is a great app to help identify (and track/record) different species, including those lily pads!
That really Kool first video I've seen of yours but to have access to do what you doing is the best I'm in the process of doing the same thing I have a few tanks just getting back into things after I have moved saltwater tanks Coral's and all was my thing about 11 years ago I now have more space hence the few tanks I have I'm doing mostly cichlids now but I also want to do a tank with just native species from the lake around me love to hit those lakes and waterways around you some time in future
Me: scours internet for hours to find unusual fish
Ryan: walks outside with a net
This was a lot of fun! That molly was beautiful. As were the other fish. I’m telecommuting; so more feedings (for the fish), more water changes, and more time in front of the tanks.
My problem is the extra feedings for myself
