He is a Molly Miller blenny that I caught while on vacation in Galveston last August. I caught him, a female Molly Miller, and a feather duster blenny as well. They all survived several days in a hotel (5gallon bucket with heater and air stone) and a 12 hour drive home (plugged into the 110v receptacle of the truck). All 3 are still alive and grew quickly. The male and female Molly Miller blennies actually spawned in my aquarium at the end of last week. Here are pics of all the eggs and some fry that I spotted on the glass. The pic is magnified 30x with a jewelers loop.Is that a lawn mower blenny? I just rescued one from petco cause they were remodeling and trying to get rid of fish. Hes in QT at the moment -- very timid.
Here is a photo of him and his maroon buddy. Taken from a remote IP Camera because I can't even go next to the QT tank without him hiding. He has so much personality.
My current favorite fish I have is a yellow watchman goby.

With a small handled net and right on the beach along the Galveston sea wall. There are giant granite rock jetties that lead to piers. Just run your net between the rocks. As the waves retreat little puddles are left behind. Scoop out the puddles with the net.That's awesome. I grew up catching juvenile freshwater fish and raising them in tanks. Where did you manage to catch them? On the shore with a cast nest? I tried that in Florida while on vacation and only managed to bring up shoals of Atlantic Bumpers:
Needless to say, I threw them back. If I lived in Flordia, I would most likely have a tank dedicated to wild caught juvenile marine fish.
