Are you sure it was a Suwannee?

 

[stonecat]

I dont think that they are swannee bass. They are rare and only live in a few rivers in flordia. They might be spotted bass

 

[sandtiger]

Or even a largemouth, there are several members of the black bass genus that look fairly similer.

what are those kinda bass? is there a pic?

 

[labiatus55]

They were pretty small, 3-4 in. but looked just like suwanne pics on the net?? I passed, dont think they would fair to well with larger cichlids

if they grow big enough they could be eating many of the cichlids...

Definitive guide... and while I live near and fish in the suwanee (and santa fe, etc) I've not seen suwanee bass in the wild. lots of largemouths tho...
