Guppy
Poecilia reticulata
Guppies are small livebearing poeciliid fish native to northeastern South America but now established worldwide in warm waters. They are highly adaptable, prolific breeders, and are far more often kept as aquarium fish than targeted by anglers.
Hairy Blenny
Labrisomus nuchipinnis

Halfbanded Seaperch
Hypoplectrodes maccullochi
Halfbanded Seaperch (Hypoplectrodes maccullochi) is a small seabass-like reef fish known from sparse museum and occurrence records. Reliable life-history and angling information is limited, so habitat and behavior are best treated cautiously.

Hawaiian Sergeant Major
Abudefduf abdominalis
The Hawaiian Sergeant Major is a robust Hawaiian damselfish found mainly in shallow reef and surge-zone habitats. It is common around the main Hawaiian Islands and is known for bold, territorial behavior and close association with rocky reefs and tide pools.
Hawaiian Spotted Toby
Canthigaster jactator
The Hawaiian Spotted Toby is a small Hawaiian pufferfish endemic to the central and western Pacific around the Hawaiian Islands. It inhabits shallow reef and lagoon habitats and is best known for its spotted pattern and ability to inflate when threatened.
