What kind cichlids in FL canals?

[Onion01]

I have also seen all of those fish in south FL. I ve caught many of them and I actually have a breeding pair of FL WC Jags at home =] they look a lot better then the ones in the pet stores. Also remeber - though there are a lot of canals and man made areas- some of the canals connect to places like the everglades. Oscars have been established in Lake Okeechobee for some time now.

Yes there are some tig catfish in the canals. There are actually a lot of types of catfish and other species in the canals. I have also seen a giant pacu. I am suprised no arowana yet - though one was caught near me in central FL in the St. John's river.

tig...here? WHERE?!?!?!?

no, pbass were stocked by the government as game fish. tems were the first, but there aren't many left. The hybrids i've caught have no noticeable tem blood in them

But the hybrids dont have to show tem traits out but maybe they have tems in their bloodlines after many generations, i dont say the hybrids were F1.

i think i've caught them all lol

i've caught acaras, mayans, pbass, salvinis, blue and spotted tilapia, butti (once), jags, red devils/midas, oscars, severums, convicts, and jewels. i've never seen a FH. Maybe they're too colorful to survive lol

i've been called a liar, but i caught 2 temensis last year. first and last time i've ever seen them here in FL

as for non-cichlid non-natives...snakeheads, walking cats, a pacu, buch of carp, and some weird looking catfish. Not sure what type, but definitely not north american. Oh yeah, and plecos

I believe you though I don't know diff types of PB I have seen diff colors could be same type diff colors or diff types.
The canals,lakes here in S.Florida even in the rare coldest of cold winter days is still warm/hot .
I have a 55 gallon set up for a small salvini when I catch it as love them as of now tank sits empty over 2 months lol as can't find body of water with that particular fish

In the canals in the southern parts of Dade County, where I live, I've seen peaock bass, oscars, Tilpia mariae, mayans, Midas/RD, Oreochromis sp., and jewels. In other parts I've seen severums and salvini. Never seen the acaras people mention, although I've been wanting to get some for my tanks.

I remember you mentioning you were looking for black acara. I have never seen one either. Went fishing for couple hours yesterday in Kendale caught talipia after trying for long time but smallish no big deal.
