[Vancouver_98683]

A good read - Summary Report of Freshwater Non indigenous Aquatic Species in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service - Region 4 (S.E. U.S. States)

Time to go fishing! Several small (approximately 100 mm TL) individuals were collected from a drainage canal near Coral Springs, Broward County, Florida, in 2001. The downloadable PDF below. Enjoy!

Not surprised. There used to be pics of a large delhezi caught on fishing rod&reel and being held up by a women in a bikini. Then there were some arowanas, red tail cat and clown knives as well.

People keep dumping stuff down there.

Do you think its possible that it came from Segrest through water ways such as drainage pipes etc.

Everyone is the culprit. There's a firm belief that Hurricane Andrew in 1992 is blamed for entry of these invasive species.

If interested. Download that pdf in the link I provided. After its up on your computer. Hit control and letter 'f' for Find. Type in your favorite specie of fish or reptile. It'll let you know if it established before or after 2000, or didn't.

Once again, it's informative stuff! Highly recommended. Enjoy
