We see these all the time catching Iguanas in the South Florida Canals...........I have an idea of what they are, but I'd like some opinions before I go spouting off - I finally caught some of these guys early, early this morning. The brood was huge, bigger than what I've seen in the past ( 50-60 offspring this size ) and the fish guarding them was at least 36 inches long, which was another first...................They've got some interesting behavoirs, but I'll save that untill I get a few opinions on what it is........
