Just when you think you know what you've got..........

Always something new going on at the place and something new to catalog. The Acadiana Master Naturalists came out to the property after a half day of presentations at LDWF in New Iberia and walked a loop around the place learning about all the restoration efforts. Billy F. came along and wanted to net some fish  and minnows for a project he is working on at home.

Billy F. educating A.M.N. students (probably with Cricket Frog in hand).




After the A.M.N. left we went back into the property to find some puddles. We brought a dip net and a bucket with a battery powered air stone to keep the catch alive until Billy could get em home. First puddle we stopped at we drug the net through the 2-4 inch deep water and caught some Sailfin Mollies, Green Sunfish, Golden Top Minnows, Sheepshead Minnows, lots of crawfish .....AND...a minnow that looked different. 

Bayou Killifish (this is an update to my original post where the minnow was identified as a Salt Marsh Topminnow).
