When I went collecting the other day I came back with what I thought was a Fundulus olivaceous (blackspotted topminnow), but after doing some research I realized that it was a Fundulus euryzonus (broadstripe topminnow). The weird thing is, out of the entire world this fish only lives in two small rivers (tangipahoa river and amite river) and the tangipahoa river happens to be my collecting river.

I'm impressed, it has a reputation of being hard to collect. They usually hang out in more than a meter of water in or under snags like logs.
They do like to go down deep, but a lot of times a school of them will come up to the top and you can snatch them up with a dipnet. Theyre really neat fish.
