Nice catch man! mosquito fish? not common pets are they?
Actyally they were good pets:D They were feeders but ihad a breeding tank with one dominant male and 9 females and they bred like crazy
 
Manoa stream has some. Most are in the Japanese Gardens behind the theater. Devils, jags, convicts, and 5 star generals are in the quarry pond down by the tennis courts.

The university doesn't mind you fishing the quarry pond (I used bits of worm on my pole) but they frown on you fishing the Japanese gardens. I'd go net there after dark with a dip net. That's where the terrors are.

I can do the quarry Pond no problem but the Japanese Pond seems kinda like tresspassing is it on the campus?

I love that resevoir thats my favorite frehswater fishiing spot things bite like crazy there with bread :D The 5 star generals are so dam easy to catch but the real funs are from the RDs and tilapia and smallmouth bass. Ive never seen soft shell turtles there before gotta show me the spot hehe. Keep on Fishing dude thats the spirit of a Hawaiian :)
 
There should be some sort of fund established to entice people to trap and/or fish out the invasive species... but I can't imagine any way that wouldn't risk massive native bycatch... to imagine that we might lose these fascinating diadromous fish to natives before any of us are able to truly appreciate them is teh sadness.
