Caught this little Jewel while catching Bluegill for bait today. If you need help while you are down here I can help with showing you some spots. Get alot of Mayans and Salvini as well as Spotted Mosquitofis in the same area.

I live in Plantation but cannot disclose the exact location of my fishing spots. I've also caught Texas and Jags cichlids in the Broward area recently.

Just want to know if anyone in South Florida would be interested in some "wild" caught Salvini or Black Acaras. I have seen them in a couple of my fishing spots lately and want to know if anyone would be interested in them. I have no room in my tank so I never thought about keeping them but I...

Caught this guy at a spillway using this.

While I have been fishing recently, my friend and I have caught some strange cichlids that we cannot positively identify. Any help would be appreciated as I'm no expert on these invasive species. We thought this was some kind of Discus. Sorry for the bad pic it was taken with a cell phone...

If you want some "wild" caught ones hit me up. I had a couple today that stole my bread from the mayans I was targeting. If my tank was running I would definatly have a few in there. Heres a thread I did with some pics of some really nice salvinis...

1/4oz white bucktail jig

I'm surprised you don't catch any salvini's. They have established a breeding population in my local canal along with the mayans and tilapias. If you ever fish the C-14 canal (Griffin Canal) in Davie you can catch flowerhorns and also I saw a breeding pair of Black Acaras for the first time...

To answer some questions these were caught in Plantation, where I catch my bait for snook and peacock fishing. They were all caught on little gold hooks and bread. I went out and caught a few more today. They tend to be slower getting to the bread than the mayans and tilapias, but are more...

I was bored today and did a little bit of cichlid fishing. I have been seeing these Salvini's in greater numbers recently while catching bait and they seem to be pairing up. Well it was hard catching just them as there are always hundreds of hungry mayans and tilapia ready to steal my bait. I...

1. 20lb Peacock Bass 2. 150lb+ Tarpon 3. 20lb+ Snook 4. Baramundi 5. 10lb+ Bonefish 6. YFT 7. Black Marlin 8. African Tiger 9. Musky 10. Giant Trevally Thats my list and I'm sticking to it.(In no particular order) :headbang2

Its a damn shame that many of the good fishing spots are now becoming illegal to fish at. You can't even fish anywhere in the whole city of Weston without getting trespassing charges from BSO (bull $hit officers). Some of the biggest Peacocks were caught out of the lakes there. Its just...

Yes the first two are spotted tilapia. I don't see to many mozambique ones around here.

It's not really a freshie snook. I caught them in brackish water on a 2" mayans. At that same spot I seen a guy pull up a 2lb Mayan cichlid off a live jumbo shrimp. I just got back from a rainy day/boredom cichlid fishing excursion at my local canal. Heres some pics of the bigger ones I...

It's legal to keep as many as you want since they are not native. Once I get my tank running I am for sure catching some more. I love the colors especially the red and blue highlights. They make great Peacock bass and snook bait.

Here's a couple mystery cichlids I got while catching bait the other day. I think they are salvini but not positively sure.

KABB44423 I live in Plantation and have fished here for over 10 years. I have never seen any Black Acaras before but wouldn;t be surprised if they are in our waterways. One of my goals is to catch a Florida Record sized Mayan. I caught a couple in the 2lb range but no record yet.

Most if not all the canals here in south Florida have many types of cichlids. I was catching bait for snook fishing today (Mayans and spotted Tilapia) when I pulled in a few unexpected fish. I was astonished when I found a Salvini cichlid on the end of my line. Some irresponsible fish keeper...

Thanks for the quick response. The only question I really have now is how how many juli's and how many brichardi's could I fit in the tank without it being overcrowded? I hear brichardi's breed quite fast so what kind of Tang will keep the fry in check?

Well I am finally getting my aquarium together and have got a basic setup going. I have a 55 gallon corner tank with an XP3 for filtration and white crushed coral substrate. My tap water is pretty hard but I will be testing it further in the next week. I'm interested in getting some N...
