female Jordanella floridae?

If you don't know for sure, you are better off not contributing anything.

So... post a pic and get them ID'd. If you've kept them before and your tank is prepared, why are you asking about them now? And all_or_nothin... Just because it is private doesn't make it legal. I would advise that you ID fish before you take them because like Noto said, if you netted...

I think arthur is right in that it looks like a female L. humilis.

You are talking maybe a month. Chains grow much faster than grass.

You can go down to the Rappahannock to catch the rock bass. The Upper Potomac also has them. Warmouth can be found in the Fredericksburg area and south of there. They aren't too common up this way.

Not just theory, in reality. The chain will eat the grass.

Plus Cali doesn't allow import of any of the Esox spp.

You can't be serious...

No need to. They don't do any real damage to each other. I have two in a 72g and they've been together for years.

Fantail darters are pretty territorial. Not all darters are that way, but fantails are one species that I've experienced to be.

clifton, eh? I assume you purchased the grass pickerel then? I've had success keeping a redfin pickerel with a warmouth. Just make sure they are of similar size and you should be fine.

Oh, you can use a "butterfly net" or a collapsible pond net. Up here you can get the pond net from petsmart/petco. We also have seines at our Walmarts, well at least used to

If you're in FL, that wasn't a rainbow darter. Maybe a gulf darter?

Yes, decapitation is "humane". Know anyone with an oscar or other larger fish?

The grass/redfin pickerel are your fish. If you have a supply of gambusia near you, that would help out a lot. In FL, I imagine you can breed them all year long.

Ideally, they will want vegetation. I even used fake plant cover. But yeah, they aren't active unless they are "hunting" for food. Not a very exciting fish to keep.

A grass pickerel would be good in a 40g breeder for life. You may be able to get away with two of them. I've known of people keeping them in a 20g for life, although I would go with a 30g long as a minimum. They really don't need that much room.
