It is still pandemic time, but with great care we had to make a short visit to the Tampa area of Florida, in mid May 2020. I haven't traveled much, but Florida is my favorite place for wildlife. Hawaii, where I spend most of my tropical days is a species desert compared to Florida. Yet Florida has some serious challenges precisely because it is so conducive to life. Whenever I put my dip net in a body of water in Florida, I am almost as likely to pull up an exotic as a native species. The stream bottoms are heavily scoured by South American catfishes, the trees dotted with parakeets. In a few hours of a few days I was overwhelmed by the variety of things I saw. I am left wishing fo see more but without the energy or skill to record even a small fraction of it all. I hope to be better prepared with a good camera for birds (so someone will believe that was seeing blue-crowned parakeets). and also a better system for photographing aquatic things.
Small mouth. Red eyes. Possibly marginatus.
Anyone familiar with the red color at the base of the Caudal fin in young? Is this characteristic of anything?
Marginatus ? Macrochirus?
