Go to the Ohio Dept of Natural Resoures website and use their lake finder to find out what species can be found in the area lakes near you. They should have a species list of fish somewhere on the site that might explain a little about each fish.
1 Platydoras costatus, 1 Agamyxis pectinifrons, 2 Pimelodus blochii, 1 Baryancistrus Sp.(L081) 1 Baryancistrus Sp.(L177) 2 Pangasius sutchi,8 Corydoras leopardus,4 Corydoras metae, 4 Corydoras pulcher,12 Corydoras habrosus,6 corydoras sp.cf.aeneus,4 Ancistrus sp(3),4 Parotocinclus jumbo

As far as where to find them in Ohio, ask a conservation department, sportsmen's club or some local fishermen.
