Most of the serious infestations of pet store escapees are much further down south. Here in Fort Lauderdale or Miami, they are plentiful. Central and Northern Florida get a bit too cold. You'll get some Mayan Cichlids there and maybe an Oscar or two. Also, lots of Tilapia.
Carful there's a bunch of dicks in here that as soon as you catch a pacu they freak out . No it's fake picture I'm a biologist that's impossible yet we catch them a lot and I've seen juveniles so they breed lol do you guys get African jewels that north ?
I've never encountered any jewels up this way. Afew black acara though.Ya it's funny cause a guy caught a 10lb. Pacu in a pond and it made the local paper! Lol
