that's what i've read but having stomped throught several ditches/creeks
with dip nets and a home made one man seine, i've only caught the
aforementioned critters - no sailfins, no rainwaters.
i've heard rumors that there are some nice sailfins in the lagoons on the
golfcourses around here but the managmement at the nearest one said i'd get
arrested if they caught me in the water.
i just haven't found the proper time to do the "full moon" caper to see for
sure......

My experience with sailfin mollies on the Gulf Coast of Alabama (Dauphin
Island) has been that they're found in ditches along the edges of salt
marshes. Shallow water of variable flow and salinity seems to be fine with
them. Rainwaters seem to like somewhat deeper waters, but that's not a hard
rule.
