Here's another trip to Graves Run to catch some minnows (I believe they are a Notropis species) and some Gambusia (Mosquito fish) for my 40 gallon "Native" aquarium.

[@Burton1973]

Your Native tank had me subscribing. I also keep a native tank. Ty from Vermont.

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

I just got a baby catfish. Not sure of species yet, but I think it's a baby bullhead.

[@aquariumtreasures1054]

So cool, and it didn't cost you anything.🐟🌿👍😄

[@solarviews8602]

Hi dan I recently started my own native tank and those minnows you caught besides the gambusia are bluntnose minnows I have a school of them in my tank

[@IHUNTA]

Curious, I wonder if the Bluntnose Minnows will grow tubercles in an aquarium.

[@dexterbryant7255]

Those little bit of fish make a big difference...... You actually need more of them.....

[@progressivepondkeeping]

I love the native tank awesome , liked and subscribed 👍

[@raibeartthehairypict4696]

Enjoyed this one Dan. 👍

[@kyles5960]

This is quite the vibe my man

[@TomokoAbe_]

Very lovely!

[@TheJarheadEntrepreneur]

I got that same exact net brother...I use it to catch minnow at the pond around corner to feed me bass lol..I have 4 babies in one of my 10 gallons tanks to grow out...I'll be filming my fish room/office and some stuff for my channel here soon..Keep Crushing It!!Stay HUMBLE, Stay HUNGRY, Stay FOCUSED...~The Jarhead Entrepreneur

[@rustyshackleford2627]

I dig it !!! 👍

[@davefave4351]

Either a 'minnow trap' made from a 2l plastic soda bottle or lay the net in the margins for 20 minutes and bait with bread.

[@axolotepistache4847]

cool why buy animal when they are in th3 nature i am talking wild fishes.

[@loavesfishes6268]

Cat-ap-pa 😁 great video!

[@samiam159007]

This was great! Want to go out to my local creek and do the same.

[@fortiersfish2522]

Awesome video, I tried catching some while fish here in Maine but didn't have a good net.

[@romuloantioquia9950]

I put some crayfish and angel fish and molly fish and black skirt tetra,and GLO fish🦞😃

[@ianallen2]

I have a red signal crayfish and a blue crayfish. The blue one escaped his tank and was across hte room. My wife heard a 'rustle' at the side of her chair and thought it was something thaty dropped. When I told her the crayfish has escaped, she mentioned hte 'rustle' and I looked. Moved some stuff and there he / she was. I thought it was dead. I placed it in the tank and it came around. I thought I would put it in the tanik with the brown signal crayfish as it wont be able to escape from that tank. It jumped out of its tank and onto the floor. No more escaping for it now I just hope the two do not fight. They are about the same size as eaach other.

[@patg108]

the neutropis won't get that big probably, just look at the ones in your native tank for comparison, will probably get to around that size. The gambusia on the other hand not certain but not big either.

[@zafishguy5166]

Gambusia are much more aggressive than guppies. Not the same. Mean especially to each other.

[@fredk4136]

Hi, thanks for the video. I enjoyed it. Do you do any medication or any type of treatment to wild caught fish? Do you have any update to this tank to see how the fish are doing? Thanks

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

I usually don't quarantine them, and haven't needed meds yet. You can check out my "Native Tank" playlist for more videos.

[@WoodPigeonOutdoors]

Hey Dan, I'm Jay living up here in Canada... I have recently went down the rabbit hole on Japanese "tanago fishing" where they catch fish the size of a nickle/quarter. Then it made me realize i always wanted a small aquarium with local "wild fish". So when we moved to my area, with over 350,000 acers of woods streams and lakes. This would be the perfect time to jump into both, so I did just that. I set up a small tank with dirt and everything from a stream i was going to get the fish from.. Even the water, let it cycle for a day went and caught the first fish like one of yours put it in... Went well for the night turned a golden colour... Woke up the next morning and the fish was dead scales were flaking off it was almost transparent. I'm just wondering what happend if you know... Or any tips would be helpful... Thanks and awesome tank by the way

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

Were you using a filter? Air stone?

[@WoodPigeonOutdoors]

@@DanHiteshew-oneandonly i did put on of those stones in yes...

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

@@WoodPigeonOutdoors I'm not sure what to tell you then. Sorry.

[@WoodPigeonOutdoors]

@@DanHiteshew-oneandonly no problem I do appreciate the reply, I'll try again from the beginning

[@XxRisingModzxX]

Can you PLEASE suggest how I can make one for even smaller fish than that? Like fry? I catch them in the net but they got used to that and no hide, I made a trap and it caught a whole bunch of fish but they were a bit bigger, baby blue gills lol

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

Use a finer mesh screen when you make the trap.

[@XxRisingModzxX]

@@DanHiteshew-oneandonly what about without a net atm? What else could I do?

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

@@XxRisingModzxX Maybe a simple bottle trap?

[@XxRisingModzxX]

@@DanHiteshew-oneandonly yes that's what I'm using, a small bottle trap from this video, but in need a smaller whole to enter or something lol

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

@@XxRisingModzxX Screw a lid on the bottle and cut a smaller hole in the lid.

[@MrGrombie]

14:00 What is the name of this fish? I have 2 in my pond (that I know of) and have no idea where they came from.

[@MrGrombie]

Notropis?

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

I don't know the exact species. try looking at "Notropis species" and see if you can find the ones you have. There are many that look very similar.

[@dexter513]

I have often wondered if this is legal

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

It is. There's no catch limit on bait fish and crayfish. (I just can't put them in different bodies of water than where I caught them)

[@dexter513]

@@DanHiteshew-oneandonly Very cool to know. When hiking I am often very "shady" about taking fish I just get a odd vibe lol

Where I live ( Ontario Canada) this is illegal. Special permits are needed to keep native fish, birds, reptiles or mammals.

You actually caught quite a few fish. You're right, they don't have any type of coloring, but they're still nice fish. I like 'em. They'll look better once they adjust and start swimming around. 👍😃🌿

I got it for landing fish really.

[@patrickwingard1927]

@@DanHiteshew-oneandonly As it should be used. Still, down here in SC I can't catch anything with that. The chain gets caught in the vegetation. Love your videos, Man. Not enough native tankers on youtube.

It's EZ to make a fish trap w/lg pop bottle. Lv it o/n and next day ck it. Good for any sm fish.

Gambusia can eat algae, but they also eat crushed snails, and micro crustaceans.

super cool Dan....one time Jack and I went fishing when he was 3 and he caught a massive goldfish in a pond that someone apparently resealed there....it was almost a foot long and we actually put him in the 180 we had at the time and he lived for a couple years in there and Jack always told everyone the story when they came over and say him and he was quite beautiful!
