I could give you a fish list of central Texas, however... you should just buy Freshwater Fishes of Texas: A Field Guide by Thomas, Bonner, and Whiteside. This book just came out last Summer, and is pretty comprehensive. We've caught/are hunting for a few fish that aren't in edition 1 but will be in edition 2. You can get it on Amazon. Worth every penny.

Note-Though I'm in the program where this book is produced, I have nothing to gain monetarily or otherwise by recommending it. Everyone that is into fish in Texas should have this as a quick reference to compliment the Hubbs key. Now that I mentioned the Hubbs key, here's a link to it
http://faculty.schreiner.edu/fstevens/Freshwater%20Fish.pdf . This is what we use on those hard to decifer fish. So, get both of these publications and you'll be on your way to be a Master of Texas Fishes.

Oh, I'll send you a list of the fish assemblages of every river basin in the state once I find the file.

No, rjmtx is right on the money. I'll see about picking up that book.

Also, something horrible has happened. The male took his own life today. Well... he jumped out. I am going to strengthen my lid security and go find another. Stonerollers were running rampant in this creek so it shouldn't be so hard.

RIP Rolling Stone (the stoneroller)
 
If you haven't already, throw some different sizes of gravel in there and a powerhead or two. Then you'll really see them in action. If you are keeping the Rolling Stones, does that make the females groupies? Maybe a more fitting name for the former Rolling Stone would be Brian Jones, it's just that yours drowned in the air.
 
Funny. I've got some powerheads in the tank already. He was moving everything around in the tank but the gravel was the same size so for the next one I'll add some bigger stones. In the couple of days that I had him I have decided that I like them and will keep some for a while.
