weird michael beat me by @2 seconds
"Weird Michael" is quick, but (in his defense) he isn't necessarily much more weird than most of the other resident fishheads.
re pygmy sunfish, the odds of finding them are pretty good in any random roadside ditch that has vegetation suggesting more or less permanent water. Use a small mesh net. This time of year they'll mostly be sub-adults.

Of course they do. Had you thrown a superfluous one in the wrong place, we might not have known who you were referring to.
(Just kidding, Michael.)

Evergladei will be in the bright green grassy stuff that grows in most ditches. Okefenokee is east a bit in the Hillsborough Preserve. Look for them in more shaded blackwater or springheads. Zonatum is about a 2-hour drive north. It will tolerate more silt than the others.

E. gilberti range is western FL from about Fort Walton Beach east to Waccasassa Bay, in most or all river basins within that range. Habitat is similar to E. okefenokee and evergladei: aquatic plant beds and leaf litter in ditches, streams, springs, ponds.

And if anybody's collecting in that area, I'd like to get a couple gilberti males. My 18-yr old colony has dwindled down to two good females and one old geriatric male who's apparently not up to needed task anymore.
