I have actually done this. I went down to my local creek and caught some of the various small fishes that I could. I caught small minnows, some sunfish fry, and a tiny bullhead catfish. I kept them alive over the course of a summer and the growth out of the sunfish and the bullhead catfish were amazing. the minnows grew, but stayed quite small. I returned all back into the creek at the end of the summer, I'd say that the catfish probably at least tripled in size! I am going to investigate the minnows a bit more this summer and see if they actually might be good more permanent residents because they continued to stay quite small.
