$$mok3d;1554073; said: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 introduced these fish to my neighborhood canal and they have spawned a new generation. I'll take some pics tomorrow when I catch some more bait. I guess it beats paying $15 each for one at a pet store. I have also caught some Flowerhorns and Jags in the Griffin canal.
I would love to grab another Salvini. I paid $6 for one years ago but now they are around $20.
