Collecting Wild Fish For Aquarium - INVASIVE FISH IN FLORIDA!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 кві 2019
- My friends and I went collecting fish for aquariums a few weeks ago and found some invasive fish in Florida. Rob, Jose, David, and I went on a wild fish collecting adventure and ended up getting lucky catching wild fish species. We ran into a few familiar native species but most found invasive fish species to Florida like the convict cichlid and variatus platy.

Wild Caught Bluefin Killifish! ua-cam.com/video/-7PpKfYbIcg/v-deo.html
Do you have a Facebook Lucky Schmuck's Fish Cave
Omg I want one!!!
I’ve never known black people to have much interest in aquarium fish, but man, you are on fire!
Thank you.
Man y'all can find every fish in the water of Florida 👍💪 wild convicts in Florida 😲🤣🤯
Yea man, so much more to explore too
We got it all over here in central Florida and south Florida haha
Had a blast as usual with these guys,have those wild plates in a small pond thing in the yard,doing good!
Interesting invasive species. You should know also that nearly everything growing in and around that stream are not native plants of Florida. That whole area is full of invasive species in and out of the water.
Man I’m so jealous! This looks sooo fun! Thanks for the vid, please do more collecting vids!
Hell yea! New collecting video! Love to see this out there, we need to educate people more about our natives! Don’t forget to try out collecting up northern Florida in the Evergladesor the green swamp! Check out the Pygmy sunfish species, you can breed them in a 5 gallon. The males do a lil dance to the females and it’s so pretty! I would highly suggest checking out the Pygmy sunfish, such amazing natives!
Great video looking forward to more of your wild collecting videos
Love the variatus! So pretty and so easy to breed.
I had a smile for 14 minutes 43 seconds. Really enjoyed watching this video. That was a great, fun afternoon. Great video!
Can’t wait to do it again man, it was a great trip!! Thanks again for sending me the footage
Great catch!! I cant wait for spring and summer up here in PA.
Amazing that they have kept their colors all this time. Nice catches!
Another great collecting trip. Looks like so much fun. Your friends a really entertaining.
Yea it’s always a blast with them, laughing whether we’re catching fish or not
Looks like so much fun!!!!!
Very nice,
You are very lucky to collect those fish 🐟
Very, very cool video THANKS FOR SHARING
I know invasive fish are bad... but this looks like so much fun! Being from the far north, we can't do anything like this here.
Wow! Gorgeous specimens!! Great catch with the DIY minnow trap!!! 👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾🐟🐟 Love this vid!
Also...my dad ALWAYS says "mess wit the bull, get the horns"! Love the shirt, Schmuck!!
Haha thanks man!!
Chumming for cichlids. Who knew? I hope those convicts aren't fat and happy on native species. *HEAVY SIGH*
Is this in azalea Park? If so we caught like 20 convicts and a bunch of platys
Florida seems like such a cool place for fish keepers
COOL FISH &video 👊😎
Love it bro. 😁😱
Cool vid guys, looks great fun.....looks good to snorkel or set a gopro to see whats all in there.
These videos are absolutely fascinating! It’s sad that Florida is like the capital of non-native invasive species, but it’s good that you guys are helping by trying to take out abit of those bad boys out!
Hey next time you go, take along your test kit? Im very interested in what the pH, nitrate levels are??? Looks like alot of fun!!!!!
Great idea!! I will do so
The Fishy Life ! Guys we just did it, its perfect
Undoubtedly the creek keeps flowing so it stays fresh, fed from an underground spring somewhere at some point down the line. Otherwise you'd see stagnant conditions.
Where are you guys? Looks like a lot of fun. I am wondering what I might find in the Econ aside from really big gators.
Love to visit Florida and do this
Would love to be able to go do that. Great catches
Fishman it’s a lot of fun
@@aquaman269 how did they become invasive?
@@theamazing10yearold65 released by bad fish owners in local waters
@@quaaquatics9416 sailfin mollies I believe are native tho as they are native to Mexico and North America. I caught one of those and an American flagfish which are also native and sold in the trade when I was down there in April this year.
@@theamazing10yearold65 the sailfins are definitely native
Fun times. Have you ever come across any corys or exotic plecos (not common)? Seeing these fish and being able to collect them is cool, but yet disappointing the FL waterways have been so contaminated with non-native species.
TM Aquatics I’ve seen arapaima caught in Florida, and black pacu caught in North Carolina... it’s sad how people are so irresponsible with their pets...
This is a super cool video and now I want to see what I can find in South Louisiana!
Get out there!
The ciclid you are speaking of is a convict very very nice fish to keep in a tank
Rob is a nut! I love that guy
He’s the man! Always a good time hanging out with him
Hey .... this vid inspired me enough to buy 2 fish traps ( first one cheap cheap cheap and broke 2nd day) and a good strong net for dipping in 3 ponds on the property here in N.W.C. Florida. Moved out of Orlando to the country 20yrs ago and I'll never go back to city life. I love the swampland I live in now. And really get off on the strange sounds at night way back in the swamp. LOVE IT.
Hey I’m a fishkeeper from central Florida awesome video my friend 💪
Thanks man! Great place to be a fish keeper
Where was this? I’m in central Florida and trying to find new spots, thanks
u guys a pretty lucky to have loads of freshwater fish. up here in vancouver its really hard to find wild freshwater fish unless u drive 3 hours inland.
Living in paradise
Very Cool guys I'm in Spring hill wich is more west you think if I try going twords central like Close to Orlando I might find some places? I'm 69 and it's my hobby too I Love to do that while I can still get around lol thank for the video love them
5:07 Steve Irwin reference... "crikey!!"
hey buddy, very cool video, ill be in Orlando this weekend and was wondering if you could help me with some spots to hit up for some of these cool guys?
Where in Florida? Which stream are these in? I wanna try netting some next time I'm down there
Same I live 35 min north of Tampa is it around this area
Wish I could do that where I live in SoCal.
Could they also be escaping from aquarium fish farms in Florida? I've seen videos of some of the farms and they've got fish running around everywhere outside of their tanks they could just drain right out into water somewhere
Great, Free Fish
Awesome Video Thanks for Sharing FishFam NJAE19
Where abouts is this ? I’m close to Orlando. I’d love to check it out
Checking this spot out as we speak 😁
Mind telling me where exactly so i can go as well please
Are these waters brackish??
Such a great idea. Removing them from an environment that they can ruin and setting them up elsewhere in captivity while also reducing the need a little for taking them from their native waters
Where were you guys at? I live in Orlando and I'm looking to find some good spots.
M H same
I don’t know if it had a name just a small creek by one of my friends house. There are fish in like every creek and drainage ditch around here
@@WildFishTanks what town at least. There is a big difference in central florida climates. Some parts get too cold for tropicals. Others are fine. I am also in central florida. Brevard county. Space coast. Would love to fine some xonvicts like that
Lane Elder northern Florida is better for native fish, the more south you go, the more invasive species you will find. North Florida has the Pygmy sunfish, brown darters, Redfin pickerel, Pygmy Killifish, and more!
What town where you fishing? Thanks in advance!
Lol didn't I tell you about that spot me and Rick like that place. On the other side of the stream you'll find more plants let's fish
Please tell me what part of central Florida that river is🙏
Where exactly is this? I’m trying to do the same thing!
Where in central Florida?
I would like to know where this is because I live in Miami and really want catch colorful fish because the mollies in my backyard dont have colors but the midas Cichlids are cool but would love to catch platies and convicts
Where in Florida did u go
they wer butiful
Is it legal to catch them and bring them home for the fish tank?
what park is this in florida i live in miami and would love to go
I would prefer wild caught invasive platies over bred ones.
The dogs i own are also strays.
I like the more raw look they have, bot dogs and fish.
Unfortunately i am in northern europe.
Can you tell me where that place is I am interested in catching some fish for my small pond with waterfall in my yard if you could help me thanks and interesting channel
What part of Florida is this
Were in Florida what city or town is this?
i i live in orlando florida tell me where is that place
11 month ago but i still like this videos✌️😁
Can you set up a tank with sand or gravel plants and these fish and make a video please?
I saw a wild convict once didn’t last long he was soon caught
could perhaps keep convicts in a outdoor pond with things too large to be eaten?
That looks like Taro (the big leaves)
Ever caught a water moccasin?
That’s so awesome you grab them in the wild. Everytime I see you catching them. I want to go down to the water to see what I could catch.
Is this Wekiva?
Whats your quarantine process for these wild caughts. I usually just use deworm/anti-parasite and watch them for a week.
I have been trying to keep them in wild only tanks for now and keep an eye on them. I’ve had luck with least killifish, bluefin killifish, and these platys so far
Lucky Schmuck's Fish Cave I find that I have more luck keeping wild caught natives alive better than store bought fish, they are so much hardier and most diseases they have are external parasites like black spot, so I just give them a 15 minute salt dip and they are good to go!
Nacho Macho321 what level of salinity?
wow you get lots of beauty fish don't need buy at fish store anymore
I was watching a sports fishing video from Florida and saw them catching huge Plecos, which are having a very negative impact on the environment.
Cory was eating them in Peru, I think as a novelty food item it might help decimate or drop the population if someone made Deep fried Plecos on a stick? Plecos de Jour? Jerked Pleco?
Man I wish I knew spots to do this at in miami
Some fat , good looking fish. You can see why they thrive. Is there anything in Florida, from Florida?
Haha not really in this video but in other collecting videos we’ve caught some native Florida species
Lucky Schmuck's Fish Cave please check out the Pygmy sunfish and Pygmy Killifish! Such great natives in Florida, also blue spotted sunfish. And check out some natives from up North like the etheostoma genus and rainbow shiners, such pretty natives hiding in our backyards!
Where is this i live in Miami so
The local canals here are infested with jewel cichlids and convicts
It's amazing all the jackasses that release these fish into the wild where they don't belong. My neighbor recently told me that she had a snail infestation in her freshwater aquarium. She is a bit of a bleeding heart so she released a bunch into a local lake here in NJ. I flipped out on her, which I am sure didn't help with neighborly relations. I'm just hoping that the freezing weather we get will kill them ..
It can be a tough one to understand but when you see the harm they can cause, makes it a little easier. All we can do really is spread the word and hope people get it. And yeah, hopefully the harsher winters up there will prevent them from taking hold
@@WildFishTanks that's the most productive approach, that kind of bleeding heart bullshit points to a failure of the education system. We ought to make a more concerted effort as a society to educate people about the dangers of non native species and the effect they can have on a local ecosystem.
You can't do that in Wyoming, you'd only catch water every time lol
Lol yea pretty much anything will survive the winters here which can be good and bad
Actually, Wyoming has some pretty cool natives! I find that the cold water natives are better than the natives down in Florida and Alabama. Darters are an AMAZING coldwater fish species, search up rainbow darters, or orangethroat darters, or greenside darters. I know you guys have some great dace species as well!
Doesn't Wyoming have some hot springs filled with non-native fish like this as well?
Those leaves at the beginning, he had the right idea, coz those leaf are big and kind of waterproof which is used as emergency umbrella in Asian countries. First thing the dude does act as the leaf is umbrella
That actually makes a lot of sense! Had no idea but yes that would be very practical
Your to loud fish can hear you and see you .looks like alot of fun the water snakes ???
there were 2 burmese pythons next to the water that you didn't see........
Udah gua bikin hangus .....keren
please share location
Seems like you guys find a lot of invasive aquarium species, but none of the native species in Florida save the few Blue Fin Killies from the other video...
want to know some thing i went fishing and i caught 20 fish
Can’t even say “free fish,” really because purchase of the fish is the least of their expenses and those guys would need some quarantining with medications more than likely but good you’re taking these out from where they don’t belong anyway.
Here in California and other states, we’re having a very bad time with New Zealand mudsnails. Even if fish eat them whole, their shells can protect them so they pass through alive and to populate another day!
Aren't you all worried about SNAKES???
Always cautious but not overly worried, don’t come across too many
Irresponsible fishkeepers 😔
Yeah, I would normally have expected to find a lot more native species there but pretty much was only the invasive stuff
Where are good places in central Florida to go fish collecting? I’m local
No platys and swordtails cant crossbreed.
Actually they can.
Yes the can.
leave the big ones
U can find everything in waters of Florida 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You really do, ua-cam.com/video/0Ii7VXvzn1w/v-deo.html
is the fish even that?
I don’t believe the large leafed plants are native either.
the more and more I get out and explore, ua-cam.com/video/0Ii7VXvzn1w/v-deo.html, i’m learning which plants aren’t native either
Where is this guy from....your in a ditch maybe a creek but a river really...
And why are you using such tiny nets...you can buy a real dipnet for $7 at Wal-Mart
Where is this
1$t
Strikes again
Good grief! All the fish shops in Florida have to do is sell equipment they don't need aquariums with fish in them.
You might be on to something haha
