Caught these in a Florida canal, help ID?

Panfishers regularly catch Oscars in some parts of the Everglades. Is this canal isolated? If there was no chance for spreading, having an isolated waterway full of year-round resident exotics might be kinda cool to fish in haha. I dont think 100% guaranteeing that there wont be spread is possible though. There are places in Thailand(???) where you can go fishing in reservoirs and catch Pima, Redtails, Pacu, and Gar, I believe.

Could be Tilapia mariae.

Little stripey guys I've never seen before, granted I'm not familiar with native fish here. Recognize this little guy?

Throw it in a tank...hook a filter up and see what you get. Take pics and post. I would love to find out

More oddities I found. I caught several of these little fellows and they aren't popping up in my fish book either. Looks like a cichlid? Tiny mouth and big eyes.

I will most likely hang on to a pair of these and see how they turn out!
