The mosquitoes wouldnt let me collect much

Doubt it, I've never seen any mollies that look any different from the native sailfins, and I've caught a lot of them.

It's easier to catch monster mollies in the bay. I've thrown out a baited minnow trap in Galveston State Park and pulled up a dozens with multiple three to four inch specimens. It's pretty easy to acclimate them to freshwater.

isn't that illegal to fish them out of a state park?

i think that i have read that fish can also be spread when a bird eats the female and then the eggs are able to pass through the digestive track, not sure if thats true but it sounds good lol. of course, that wouldnt pertain to mollies

Ya I think the fish are transported when it rains and the detention ponds overflow into the ditches

You can find them in stagnant ditches on the side of the road. How the fish got there, I have no idea.

I've never knew you could just wander around the marshes in the area and catch mollies.

I found out several years ago when I saw a bright green flash in the ditch. Took me about 3 days to catch that male and then I started researching online.

You lucky SOB, I bet there's some great plants and critters in there. Could be Myriophyllum? Hard to tell from the picture.

+1 looks just about right.

Good call with the myrio. It looks just like that. My first aquarium was a 30 gal; I never had a store bought fish. I've had all kinds of critters from shrimp to bass. Good example was this guy I had for about 2 years.

mosquito repellent + stuff going in aquariums = bad...is that plant a cabomba species?

I'm not good with species name. Looks like a horwort but puts out roots and my wort doesnt do that. I've seen it with red and green colors.
