I live in Fort Lauderdale and I've seen dozens of introduced fishes in these canals. Some are now common. However, over this past year to 18 months, I continue to see these strange fishes in a canal at my job site. This is a canal that leads into a decent sized lake. The fish are shaped like CICHLIDS, are all over 10" and wide bodied. They are Pure, vivid white, but have orange blotches like a KOI. Some have two tone, overlapping blotches, just like a koi! I'd say MIDAS hybrids. However, one fish that I own is a Midas/Flowerhorn mix. He's also white with orange, but has the rounded face. These fishes in question have very large lips. I've seen brightly colored orange and pink as well as red MIDAS in the wild, and the body and head shape is different. Any thoughts? I've so far been unable to snap a good photo. (Through a fence) or to catch one of these and the last couple days it's been too cold. They'll be in deep water. I see them on sunny days. They hang out in groups of 2 or 3. It's quite a sight.
