Ok, I want to put my 2 cents here. I see plecos here all the time, theyre quite easy to catch by hand in full health, Theyre actually not that susceptible to the cold, alot more plecos are living than other invasive species right now, I've only seen two dead plecos. Plecos dont do much if any harm to natives, theyre cool fish, and what you did was unimportant to their population and just plain stupid. If they were a problem FWC would notify the public to kill them, as other states have done with round gobys and the like. None of the invasives here have caused any serious problems and are pretty much part of the florida ecosystem by now, so i believe them dying off from this cold will not have any benefit but only hurt the number of fish in our waters
. Your logic was ignorant and I hope you now know better. Btw I would like to find some plecos between 3-6 inches, all I see in my canal are full grown monsters. The smallest one I've seen recently was 12 inches.
