In certain rivers and sreeks, we have a few cichlids, including Texas cichlid, but they're just barely exotic for central texas. Also, the San Marcos river has it all, plecos, exotic snails, a guy I know even says he found a couple loaches.

In Florida I've seen plenty of Gars, Killie Fish, Mosquito Fish, Large Cichlids, and my favorite was once I saw a school of Neon Tetras swim by.

The first three are native...

I haven't caught any exotics besides the usual common carp and goldfish, but a friend of mine caught a piranha in the Cumberland.

Oh how nice I have seen school of tiger barbs and zebra danios but never neons.

I would think Neons would do the best as far as surviving goes as they move fast are tiny and dark water canals would be paradise for them. would love to see them.

Did you see them in canal or lake?

Saw them in a private pond.

I know but they are still cool to see since I live up North where there are none.
