Long skinny I have a little 2 acre pond. The only thing I have ever put in here are a hand full (4 years ago) of channel catfish. The wife threw out a minnow trap with some chicken in it to see what she could come up with. A few large polywogs and these two small fish. I dont think they are channel cats? what are they?

I agree that they are not channel cats.
I can't seem to get the pics to open up to a greater size.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

Seems to be two identical threads. I was starting to feel a little crazy.

It's an Oriental Weatherfish. Oriental weatherfish (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) Non-native The Chinese loach is an exotic, aquarium species that has established itself in the lower Boise and Payette rivers and associated irrigation ditches. They were introduced by people getting rid of their pets in local water ways. It has several common names including: Chinese weatherfish, Chinese loach, or dojo loach. There are two species distributed as weatherfish, but this one is most likely Misgurnus anguillicaudatus. They can survive the area winters and have been reproducing in Idaho for some time. These fish can survive over the winter in de-watered ditches by burying into the mud, and emerging again the following spring after the water is turned back on. Their effect (if any) on native Idaho fishes is currently unknown. The species is native to eastern Asia and is omnivorous. They prefer still water or slow flowing streams with mud substrates. The origin of the name weatherfish is due to their habit of responding to changes in barometric pressure by becoming very active and swimming in rapid circles just before major weather changes.

Way to go JKB. Dude is ON it!
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

I'm sure a bass would love to eat one. I know they love to eat young snakeheads in the Potomac River.

I've had them in my fish tank. They look like a cross between a catfish and an american eel. No spines, long and slender. I imagine that many fish would find them to be an easy meal.

RUMBLON Look at that last pic. With the 2 in the water. If I didn't know better and they did not have whiskers. They almost look like Northern Pike from a top view. That's just another fish that shouldn't be here... Uggh when are we ever gonna learn..... 
The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
