<p>These fish were caught out of the gulf near Sarasota Fl.</p>
<p>First two are some kind of Wrasses...</p>

I'm not the best at this by any means, but I'll give it a shot...
Not sure what the first fish is.
The second wrasse looks like a slippery dick to me, although it doesn't have as dark of stripes down the sides as the ones I've seen.
The third fish... do you have any pics of the dorsal fin? It may be a spotfin killifish, the males of which would have an ocellus on the dorsal. Even without the ocellus, though, it could still be a female spotfin killifish, which have no ocellus and still have white bars like the males, but to a lesser degree.
The last fish kinda looks like a mummichog... ??
Uhh... hope this is somewhat helpful or correct. Haha. Just trying to get more practice ID'ing.

I think the first one may be a bucktooth parrotfish... did it have tentacles on its nostrils?

I think it's a juvenile redatail parrot but parrotfish are impossible to identify unless you catch an adult specimen.
I was thinking redtail at first as well, but the caudal fin is flat or rounded. And in redtail it should be pointed on the top and bottom even in a juvinile.
It has the white spots of a young Stoplight Parrot and the light caudalfin base but something isnt right. Most of the young Stoplights I have seen are very crisp looking.
it looks too mottled for a stoplight that size, although when the Parrots we caught got freaked out they quickly went into the mottled coloration like when they are hiding.
I think Reekfish got this one.
More I look at it it looks to be a Bucktooth Parrot.
It has the white body spots. The mottled coloration. The darker gill spot and the blue behind the eye.

Thanks guys, appreciate all the help. Im going to call fwc on Monday and see if they know what it is or why the f these fish are even in this area and what else might be there.
Pretty sure the first killi isnt a spotfin as there only supposed to be on the Atlantic side but thanks for trrying reekfish...
